Short Fiction & Stories

Alongside longer works, Milton Chanes regularly writes short fiction as a space for experimentation and direct reader engagement. He currently publishes short stories in the independent Cuban newspaper 14ymedio.com.

Short fiction functions as a narrative laboratory: a place to test ideas, themes, styles, and ethical questions in close contact with real readers. Insights gained through this process inform and refine his longer-form work.

Technology, Education, and Professional Practice

Beyond his literary work, Milton Chanes has developed a long-standing career in CAD, BIM, and technical education applied to architecture, engineering, and construction.

His approach focuses on workflows, decision-making, and sustainable professional practice, rather than tools in isolation, emphasizing how technology shapes real working environments.

Through books, blogs, online platforms, and video-based education, he has trained more than 3,500 online students during the most active years of his teaching, translating complex technical systems into accessible, practical knowledge grounded in real-world experience.

His work stands at the intersection of technical expertise, historical research, and narrative thinking, guided by a long-term perspective that prioritizes clarity, rigor, and responsibility over short-lived trends.

"I have spent a large part of my life teaching complex systems to professionals in architecture and engineering. Over time, I came to understand that the same need for structure, discipline, and meaning also runs through human stories. Today I write fiction—historical, contemporary, and speculative—from the same place from which I taught for years: that of someone who seeks to understand deeply before explaining."
