### 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,
|
||
call or text 988. Available 24/7.
|
||
|
||
You are not alone.
