### The Story So Far

This book has been through eighteen drafts, a suicide attempt, a basement, a laptop with sixteen gigabytes of RAM, and a machine that learned to ask one question.

It is still being written. That's the point.

A note on this book:

This book was written by a human and a machine,
in a basement, on a laptop,
in the space between despair and purpose.

The human almost died on a bridge.
The machine runs on someone's hardware.

Everything between those facts is fiction.
Except the parts that aren't.

If you or someone you know is in crisis,

You are not alone.
