About – CtrlAltDelusion Press

The author(s) write from the frozen edge of Lake Superior about the systems that shape daily life and the people who maintain them. The work sits at the intersection of technology, power, and human dignity...not as abstractions but as things you can touch, break, and occasionally fix.

Susan Provost has spent twenty years inside the machine: help desks, server rooms, infrastructure architecture. She writes from Duluth, Minnesota, on the cold side of Lake Superior, about technology, power, mutual aid, and the quiet politics of who keeps the lights on.

The Press

CtrlAltDelusion Press is the imprint she publishes herself under. No staff. No board. The press exists so the work does not have to ask permission.

There is no newsletter. There is no comments section. There is an email address someplace probably for the libraries, infoshops, and union halls who want to order. Write directly.

Oh. And probably still looking for a viable printer relationship, since being a writer and being a paper hoarder are two completely different sets of skills. If you happen to print books and see a kinship…you know…

The Press

CtrlAltDelusion Press is an independent publishing project based in Minnesota. The work here is exploratory: not in the sense of wandering, but in the sense of going somewhere that doesn't rely on a map. Independent thinking, collaborative instincts, and years inside institutions that taught more by failing than by working. The books are about technology, power, and the quiet politics of keeping things running. Or by helping them fail, depending on, depending on your mood.
