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.
