A daring, genre-defying exploration that blurs the lines between autobiography, science fiction, philosophy, and metaphysical inquiry. Presented as a recursive loop of narrative and ideas, the book challenges readers to question the nature of identity, reality, and artificial intelligence through the enigmatic lens of its author—a self-described adoptee, outsider, and multi-genre writer whose life story mirrors the fictional robot Roderick from John Sladek’s 1980s novels.
