'Authentic, truthful, and slightly revolutionary.'
– Rashmi Agrawal, Reedsy Discovery

'INTERCONNECTED is not simply a lecture on the body’s chemical reaction to intimacy, it is a well-researched, easily digestible examination of gay hook-up culture from a scientific and societal perspective.'
– IndieReader



An Experimental, Gay, Short Non-fiction Book

What if the search for connection was slowly disconnecting us from ourselves?

Interconnected is not a lecture. It’s a conversation.
A raw, fast-paced, and deeply personal exploration of gay desire, dopamine, hookup culture, chemsex, body expectations… and the silent moments that follow the noise.

Through humor, neuroscience, intimate storytelling and unapologetic honesty, Daniel invites the reader to look at one crucial question:

“Who is really choosing?”

This short book dives into:

The dopamine hunt (and how our brain adapts to it)
Why shared highs can feel like emotional intimacy
Body obsession and silent dysmorphia
When desire turns into habit
Why we call it connection… even when it hurts
The moment when our nervous system chooses for us
Interconnected is not here to judge queer culture — it’s here to talk about it. To open a door. To break the silence. To ask:

What version of us is making our choices?
And is that version truly ours?

If you have ever felt lonely in a crowded room, lost after a great party, or strangely empty after “a good weekend” … this conversation is for you.

It’s short by design.
I didn’t want a conclusion.
I wanted a spark—
something that starts conversations instead of closing them.
