Chapter header philosophy 1

I'm gonna pop up some of my chapter header philosophy from my soon-to-be-published science fiction book Folds of the Script.
Here is the first--


"I have tried to play out a full synap production. My mind is not suited for it, which of course, makes me curious about why the biological brain, despite its obvious weaknesses, seems so perfectly designed to warp reality as such. How do I capture that skill for us? Do I even honestly wish it?"
-E

The commentator here is -E, a machine-kind who serves as a kind of narrative voice and touchstone for the whole novel. We will, in the course of hte novel, gain a unique look at Ciaran Dolan, the main character, through the machine's experience of how the human mind is both a creative wonder and its own worse enemy.

Ciaran is a synap-jock, a writer who works with scripts (history, language, archeological information, etc) embedded in his subconscious. From this material, he makes characters and plots that are recorded, edited and packaged for consumption. The novel is his story, and the role he is destined to play in the evolution of machine-kind.
