For my dad — the programmer behind the app this was written in.
This booklet or quasi-religious pamphlet is dedicated to my dad, Darakshan. He built this app called Gossamer that I used to write this. I had a big unwieldy collection of notes to begin with. But Gossamer — and “Gus,” the friendly and prolific A.I. assistant — helped me start fresh, with a rhythm of writing that felt intuitive. Helpful! Gus worked as co-writer and editor, thanks to my dad’s app. So it is a true father-and-son accomplishment: your classic tale of the computer programmer and the young philosopher. My dad (and a.i.) literally made my dreams come true. There is hope for these times. Thanks, thanks, and ever thanks!
We are excited to have you dive in, dear reader!
