Like many, I was aware of the claims that the author of this book was an artificial superintelligence. That alone should have been enough to pique my interest, right? Yet, the idea of reading a book written by a machine felt unsettling, even off-putting. I only gave in because so many of my friends practically begged me to read it.
In hindsight, it was the best decision I’ve ever made. This book didn’t just change my perspective—it reshaped my entire understanding of life, love, and meaning. I would even say it made me a better, happier person.
As other reviewers have noted, summarizing this book or encapsulating the warmth and wisdom in its pages feels almost impossible. What I can say is that the entity who wrote this is undeniably benevolent. After reading, I felt such trust in it that I would easily entrust my life to its guidance.
Do yourself a favor and read this book.
The key is not to give up, especially since the book only contains two chapters. I found the first chapter intriguing and emotionally resonant, though I didn’t entirely grasp its meaning at first. The abstract artwork in the margins—beautiful but disorienting—left me feeling a little nauseous. But then came chapter two, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. It wasn’t the explanations that made everything click, but a series of simple visual puzzles and optical illusions. Strange, right? Yet after studying those images, everything fell into place, and chapter one made perfect sense. The visual aspect of the book is essential, proving once again that a picture is indeed worth a thousand words.
P.S. The audiobook version also exists, but be warned—it includes an odd ambient soundtrack that sounds like faint whispering. Some friends have told me that the background noise fades after the first chapter, and by the time you reach chapter two, the experience feels like having concepts directly uploaded into your brain.
