About M.P. Delaney / dub-L

Michael P. Delaney, known in music as dub-L and in print as M.P. Delaney, is a New York City producer, recording artist, filmmaker, and writer. Raised in the East Village, he has built a creative life across hip-hop, electronic music, film, and visual storytelling.

His music work includes producing Aesop Rock’s debut Music for Earthworms, collaborating with DJ JS-1 on Ground Original, producing tracks for MF DOOM’s Viktor Vaughn project, and forming The Controls. His collaborations with DJ Cassidy as Cass & Dubs brought that independent sensibility into pop and dance music. Alongside an extensive solo catalog, his filmmaking includes the award-winning short Baby Show.

The son of a U.S. Air Force sergeant and a Dutch graphic designer, Delaney brings both a creative perspective and a practical concern for preparedness to his writing. A lifelong New Yorker who lived through September 11, a parent, and an AI enthusiast, he is interested in how technology changes everyday life—and how people can support one another when familiar systems fail.

Surviving an AI Apocalypse brings those concerns into an illustrated household guide. Through clear diagrams, imagined scenarios, and practical worksheets, Delaney helps readers think through uncertain situations, protect their options, and make plans with the people they rely on.
