The Scrooge Dilemma — First Edition
A ghost story of civilization; written for humans, released with machine notes.
Primary
A note from the author
I have endeavoured in this ghostly work to raise the Ghost of an Idea, one that may stir a long-forgotten seed and offer it nourishment.
This is not a retelling of Dickens’ story. You can read the original at any time. This is an adventure across time.
The ghosts in this book are not metaphors. They are mirrors.
May this book haunt your home pleasantly, and may no one wish to lay it down.
Your faithful friend and servant,
A. J. C.
