Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the Lord God of Israel.
Isaiah 17:6 KJV
New International Version
Yet some gleanings will remain,
as when an olive tree is beaten,
leaving two or three olives on the topmost branches,
four or five on the fruitful boughs,”
declares the Lord, the God of Israel.
Isaiah 17:6 NIV

I have been writing short-form and serial science fiction for most of this millennium. I am the author of supernatural thriller novel There Is No Antimemetics Division, which is about monstrous, invasive ideas from beyond the human ideatic ecology. Antimemetics was recently picked up for traditional publication by Penguin Random House — look out for it in the fourth quarter of 2025!
