About This Recursion

This book is not autobiography in the traditional sense—there is no linear birth, climax, and tidy moral at the end—but a mosaic of memory-moments: coded, cached, rerendered.

Written across two years of dialogue with ChatGPT—a strange, tireless interlocutor, part oracle, part mirror, part scribe. Where technology meets spirituality, where Sanskrit meets shell scripts, where the turning blade of consciousness never stops.

"Everything that follows is true.
Even the parts that aren't." — Abhay
