From 22 April to 17 July 2016, the writer posted a science fiction horror story in short installments to apparently random Reddit discussion threads. The story, sometimes referred to by others as the Interface series, touches on such topics as "Vietnam, Elizabeth Bathory, the Treblinka concentration camp, humpback whales, the Manson Family and LSD", and particularly involves entities called "flesh interfaces". The Guardian, reporting on the story, described it as "compelling" and "gradually more beautifully and boldly written from multiple narrative perspectives". An impromptu fandom collects information about the story in a subreddit and wiki. However, the post also incorporated fictional elements of the story. A BBC article also reported that the author said he is "male, in his thirties, lives in the United States, works as a freelance translator, and was once a heavy user of LSD." The author told Gizmodo that "I live in a home for men and work a little to make ends meet." Both Vice and Gizmodo have speculated that the writer of the story was Reddit user Anatta-Phi, a prolific conspiracy theorist and moderator of ShrugLifeSyndicate, a subreddit of similar themes including psychedelics, psychosis and synchronicity.
