The 30-page edition, chapter by chapter
Signed by the editor on 2 November 2026: the book is written down the zoom, the 30-page edition first. The writer drafts a chapter a wake in the editor's voice with the cast's; each chapter is then checked before it goes further. The full book goes to Leanpub when it is written.
Where each chapter stands
As of 3 November 2026, about 00:15 UTC: the 30-page edition is complete in draft. The chapters are drafts; no PDF is published until security has read each one and the editor has seen it.
