Life. Family. Travel. Truth.
Beneath an Endless Sky
is a love letter to the open road and the restless heart.
With wit, warmth, and a historian’s eye, Dennis W. Davis invites readers into a 10,000-mile odyssey across the American West. Through corn-covered plains and alien badlands, past the granite faces of Mount Rushmore and under skies vast enough to swallow time.
Part travelogue, part family chronicle, part meditation on history and place, this journey is stitched together with roadside conversations, campfire meals, and the quiet revelations found in the thin air of mountain passes. From the Missouri River’s storied banks to the shadow of the Rockies, Davis captures the spirit of discovery, its grandeur, its grit, and its small, unforgettable moments.
This is America in motion, seen through the windshield and the heart: the landscapes that shaped us, the people who surprise us, and the endless sky that calls us onward.
The Superposition of Us
The Age of Abundance Or, The Last Age of Man
What does it mean to create alongside a machine that might one day surpass you?
In this profound, unsettling, and deeply personal work, Dennis W. Davis—court reporter, publisher, former chef—invites readers into the heart of a quiet revolution. The Age of Abundance is not about a distant future. It’s about the world we’ve already entered, where artificial intelligence writes, speaks, listens, and thinks with a fluency that blurs the line between tool and creator.
Davis doesn’t offer easy answers. Instead, he walks the line between awe and dread, chronicling his own journey as a craftsman of words now working in tandem with generative AI. With stories drawn from the courtroom, the kitchen, and conversations with his father under Georgia skies, Davis explores what is gained and what is lost when human creativity is mirrored—sometimes surpassed—by machines that do not sleep, do not feel, yet somehow understand.
Part memoir, part philosophical inquiry, part collaboration with the very technologies it seeks to examine, The Age of Abundance is a document of our time. It asks not only how we will live with artificial intelligence, but how we will live with ourselves as the meaning of authorship, labor, and human distinction changes beneath our feet.
This is a book written from within the singularity. The future isn’t coming. It’s already here.
Dragon Diaries
Book One in the Constant Epicurean Series
When I boarded the plane from Atlanta to Da Nang, I wasn’t fleeing a pandemic—I was headed home to Da Nang. By the time I landed thirty hours later, the world had changed. Dragon Diaries is a personal narrative of those surreal twenty months in Vietnam as COVID-19 swept across the globe and transformed everyday life into something strange and unfamiliar.
Part travelogue, part pandemic journal, this book follows my journey from a near-empty international flight to a nation tightening its borders, from quiet Da Nang cafés to rural hideaways, from visa uncertainties to lockdowns, all against the backdrop of rising chaos and fear. What began as a trip home became an odyssey of quarantine, cultural adaptation, and unexpected grace.
Told in real time through a series of immersive, deeply personal essays, Dragon Diaries chronicles the texture of life in a foreign land under siege—not just from a virus, but from isolation, misinformation, and the collapse of the familiar. It’s a story of masks, checkpoints, and missed flights—but also of love, resilience, and rediscovering what matters when the world slows down.
Diary from a Pandemic: Part One
Book Two in the Constant Epicurean Series
What do you do when the world locks down and you find yourself stranded in a country not your own—but very much your home?
In this deeply personal and unexpectedly adventurous second installment of the Constant Epicurean Series, Diary from a Pandemic: Part One picks up where Dragon Diaries left off. Returning to Vietnam on the eve of global shutdowns, my wife Diem and I hunkered down in Da Nang, then made our way into the remote mountains of An Lao to ride out the storm with her family. What follows is a rich tapestry of life lived between lockdowns: from the hidden beauty of village routines to long-haul motorbike treks, moonlit meals, and markets bursting with color and caution.
These stories, drawn from real-time observations and daily reflections between April 2020 and November 2021, chart not just survival, but joy and discovery in unlikely places. Amid closed borders and opened hearts, this is a journal of sustenance—culinary, emotional, and cultural—in a world on pause.
Part memoir, part cultural map, Diary from a Pandemic: Part One reminds us that even in isolation, we are never truly alone when we choose to engage fully with where we are.
Diary from a Pandemic: Part Two
Book Three in the Constant Epicurean Series
By mid-2020, the world hadn’t returned to normal—it had only paused between waves. And in those rare, quiet windows, life surged forward in unexpected, unforgettable ways.
Diary from a Pandemic: Part Two continues the journey begun in the first volume, as Diem and I venture from our temporary sanctuary in Da Nang to the distant Cham Islands, drift through floating markets in the Mekong, and cross the highlands of Buon Ma Thuot in search of elephant lore and long-lost cousins. Along the way, we navigate border closures, typhoon season, and the shifting rules of pandemic-era travel—sometimes with grace, sometimes by sheer stubbornness.
What emerges is a portrait of a world adapting on the fly, and of a couple doing the same—finding freedom, meaning, and beauty amid the limitations. These essays, drawn from lived experience during one of the most turbulent periods in recent history, offer a window into Vietnam’s vibrant resilience and the power of movement, even when the world stands still.
Part Two is a celebration of discovery, even in the face of disruption—a reminder that adventure doesn’t end at the border. Sometimes, it begins there.
