S. Cooper is a linguist, cultural critic, and author of both nonfiction and fiction. With a foundation in the study of language, Cooper explores how systems—linguistic, biological, legal, and cultural—shape human understanding, institutional power, and social identity. His work seeks to uncover the architecture behind belief: how it’s built, who defines it, and what it excludes.

Cooper’s debut nonfiction title, Natural Technology: The Everything of Everything, introduces a framework that views the natural world as a structured, functional system—one that reflects principles of design, intentionality, and communication. Drawing from linguistics and logic, the book explores irreducible complexity, functional interdependence, and the embedded order in biological systems. It builds on and extends the work of key thinkers in the Intelligent Design movement, including Michael Behe, Stephen Meyer, and James Tour offering a new perspective.

His follow-up work, The War of Cosmogonies: Genesis, Science, and the Battle for Reality, steps back to examine the cultural and metaphysical conflict between scriptural and scientific origin stories. Rather than treating the debate as a matter of evidence, Cooper reveals it as a war of worldviews—where language, authority, and epistemology collide. The book argues that modern scientific storytelling is not neutral, but embedded with assumptions that shape institutions, public education, and even moral frameworks.

Cooper’s forthcoming novel, Gasi, continues this exploration through story, following a child’s view of a racially stratified society where law, speech, and morality collide. Through fiction, Cooper reveals how cultural hegemony is reproduced not only through institutions but through the everyday words we speak—and the ones we’re taught not to.

Though fictional, Gasi continues Cooper’s central project: examining how culture encodes power through speech, memory, and silence.

Across genres, Cooper’s work is united by a core belief: language is never passive, and neither is the world it describes. Whether analyzing ancient texts or constructing new narratives, Cooper’s writing is driven by the conviction that every spoken word carries history.
