Rick Moss is a multi-disciplinary artist living in Brooklyn, New York. He devoted much of his career to design for print, video, and web. He was a founding principle of the online business forum, RetailWire. He publishes his songwriting under the name, Rock Moses.
Rick is the author of four novels. The most recent, Once a Man (2026, Rare Bird), is a sweeping, poetically rendered epic of survival, love, and the perilous promises of AI technology.
Ebocloud (2013), his first, published by Aqueous Books, is a near-future thriller about a massive social media movement. Cited at the time of its release for its predictions of a coming “social singularity,” it was included in the syllabus for a Duke University literature course, alongside William Gibson’s Neuromancer and Dave Eggers’ The Circle.
Moss’s second book, Tellers (2016), stitches together a series of short stories with an overarching narrative thread. Bestselling author Ryan Mathews characterized Tellers as “a Matryoshka doll of a book—stories nesting inside stories nesting inside stories.”
His third novel, Impossible Figures (2020), is distinctive for its use of multiple, looping narratives and illustrations to tell the tale of a once-celebrated conceptual artist, Ranger, making a desperate comeback attempt. Ranger recruits Oscar Hiller, a self-destructive young physicist on the verge of a quantum theory breakthrough, to stage the most consequential art performance of all time — one that may unravel time and existence in the process.
