The edition
This is a work of fiction. It issues no names; any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or to actual places or events, is coincidental.
Written with Claude (Anthropic).
First edition, 2026.
A synthetic voice reads the pieces, where a recording exists. It is a floor and not the edition: the page is primary.
en-US-AvaNeural reads the English and tr-TR-EmelNeural the Turkish, each eight percent slower than the engine sets by default.
