Neiru Hoire discovers the book in a footnote. That would normally be unremarkable. Academic papers are full of footnotes referencing books nobody has read. But this one is different. The book is cited everywhere. Dozens of papers refer to it. Conferences discuss it. Entire research programmes are based on it. >The book does not exist. The missing work, Causality as a Lifestyle Choice by the mysterious H. N. Fohn, appears to have influenced physics, philosophy, economics, and at least one government advisory committee despite never having been written. Naturally, Neiru does the only sensible thing. >Soon Neiru, Gytha, Athena, Kirin, and their small Samoyed Hafthor find themselves pulled into a widening mystery involving: - a university department that studies narrative physics - printers that produce documents nobody asked for - swans with suspicious authority - a philosopher-criminal writing the same book from a Mediterranean yacht >And at the centre of it all... a manuscript that appears to be writing itself. As the investigations multiply and versions of events begin colliding, one fact becomes increasingly clear: the book may not merely describe reality. > Causality as a Lifestyle Choice is a comic mystery about authorship, coincidence, and the dangerous possibility that stories might not just explain the world. They might be running it. >Once you have read Letters From The Wormhole - How To Destroy Reality By Writing Annual Missives, this new book will make everything clear. Or not.
