spec · the contract of the family
seven living books have been written. the eighth is the one you carry — the one you have always been writing, even before you knew it. these pages describe how the books in this family are built, and what they refuse to become.
a book that pretends to know you is a trick. a book that helps you remember yourself is a gift.
read the spec if you want to write your own. read it if you want to understand what makes these books refuse the patterns of wellness software, prediction engines, and persuasion. the rules are short. the consequences are long.
if you write a book in this family, you do not owe me anything. these rules are the price of admission to the family, not to any author. the books are descendants, not property.
