Op-Eds – All of my op-eds have been published in the top 100 newspapers in the country. These op-eds will give you a sense of my journalistic writing, but obviously not my reporting, which would be opinion neutral. Here are a few recent examples:

“What has the Pandemic Taught Us“ – Published in the USA Today Newspaper: The Times Union, the 63rd largest paper in the country by circulation.

“Schools are reopening with human experimentation“ – Published in the USA Today Newspaper: The Times Union, the 63rd largest paper in the country by circulation.

“Cold Covid Realities“ – Published in the USA Today Newspaper: The Times Union, the 63rd largest paper in the country by circulation.

“The Definition of Insanity“ – Published in the USA Today Newspaper: The Times Union, the 63rd largest paper in the country by circulation.

All my op-eds can be found here.

Here are two recent op-eds which showcase my writing and thinking on technical topics.

“Imitation by A.I. is not the Sincerest Form of Flattery” – This op-ed is about the pitfalls and dangers of attempting to use AI in the arts.

“The Solution to Car Pollution” – This op-ed is about solutions to car emissions that do not require massive infrastructure investments.

 

Articles – All my recent articles were ghostwritten for companies and individual clients such as Fractl. Due to ghostwriting nondisclosure agreements, I cannot associate myself with this large body of ghostwritten works and cannot use them as samples.

“Cut the ties that Bind“ – This is an example of a “feature” article that I wrote. This three-page article was published under my byline in print in Smart Computing, a large circulation national magazine.  I wrote several articles for Smart Computing under my byline. [PDF]

“Cut the ties that BindCreate an Emergency Repair Disk“ – This is an example of a “how to” article. This four-page article was published under my byline in print in Smart Computing, a large circulation national magazine.  I wrote several articles for Smart Computing under my byline. [PDF]

 

Bestselling Books – Over an extended period of eight years, both my bestsellers had long repeated bestselling runs in which they were ranked #1 on Amazon in the techno-thriller, sci-fi, and various subgenres, and #200 in the all-books bestseller list out of millions of titles.

Sci-Fi Reader 4 Star review by S.J. Higbee: “This book manages to do what all the best sci-fi does—provide a thought-provoking, alternative viewpoint on the business of existence. I recommend you give it a go…”
Publisher’s Weekly STARRED review: “Bohacz provides mind-bending portrayals of factions vying for power and reflections on the essence and fragility of humanity. But philosophical concerns never obtrude on the fast-paced plot. The question of who can be trusted impels the reader to keep turning the pages of this highly satisfying and dynamic techno-thriller.”
Kirkus: “If you thought Immortality was powerful, just wait until you read the sequel…”
S.J. Higbee: “Bohacz manages to provide a gripping plot with plenty of twists and turns that kept up the tension right to the very end. I’m betting that you’ll still be thinking about it when some of your favorite authors have faded into the furniture.”
