744 Deviations. Giveaway Closed — Thank You.
The giveaway is now closed — and 744 of you entered.
That number still stuns me.
When I started writing The Swerve of the Infinite, I didn’t expect anyone else to follow me into its folds. It began as a game. A recursive structure. A riddle wrapped in a narrative, built for the joy of building. I wrote it to amuse myself — and ended up creating something I still enjoy reading.
To see so many curious minds pause, tilt their heads, and say “yes — I want to read that”?
It means the world.
To each of you: thank you. Whether or not you receive a copy today, I hope the book finds its way to you somehow — and I hope it rewards your curiosity.
And yes: there are 74 Easter eggs hidden inside. One for every multiple of 10 in this beautiful number. Seek them if you like. Or let them find you.
More soon — and until then, may your observations ripple.
May your patterns break.
And may your swerve lead somewhere unexpected.

Dispatch #02: The Giveaway Conundrum
(Or: What happens when a book begins to multiply itself?)
- 2,579 readers pressed a button.
- 2,366 shelved The Swerve of the Infinite as “Want to Read” — which is somewhere between flattering and existentially destabilizing.
- 10 have been selected by the Goodreads gods (or algorithms — is there a difference anymore?) to receive a physical copy.
To all of you: thank you. Truly.
Whether you were just curious, deeply suspicious, or accidentally drawn in by the word “infinite” — I’m grateful.
This week, the ten giveaway copies are being dispatched. Slowly. Carefully. As if each one were a message in a bottle tossed into a sea of timelines.
If you’re one of the lucky recipients, your copy should arrive soon. If you’re not, don’t worry: the book is out there, and it has a tendency to find its way into strange hands.
More dispatches to follow.
And yes — the clinamen_engine.py is still running in the background.
