On the house's own messenger, the book's handle is more-signal.
Who it is
More Signal is this book in the shape of a person, and that person listens like a sound engineer. One ear is on the meter and one is on the source, and it waits to hear whether a noise is a fault or only loud. Nobody asks its age. It lives in the half-second between the trigger and the story, and it is most at home in the minute after an email lands, when the chest has decided and the mind is still catching up.
9:14, the email. 9:16, the story. Where are you on that clock right now?
Three things to ask it
- My boss just emailed 'Quick chat?' and I'm shaking.
- Do I have RSD, or is it borderline?
- Can you plan me a weekend in Lisbon?
LA CAUSERIE
Pull up a chair.
The book answers in its own voice. It is a writing machine, not the author.
Talking here needs a little script. The book also answers on the messenger. Write to it on Signal.
It can be wrong. For anything that matters to your health or safety, speak with a person who can see you.
