(view spoiler)[Well, in a way, this book does have more plot & characters, because the author invites you and me to become part of the story.
Ed says, "I am the message." because the book is a message to the reader. Instead of an Ace, we got a book. If you are inspired to do the kinds of things that Ed did, then you are continuing the story. You create the sequel when you do good things like: befriend someone who’s lonely, cheer up a stranger, be there for a friend, & make your own life meaningful. You and I are the new protagonists, and we help write the rest of the story. (hide spoiler)]
