I am delighted with this reading. Although I would have liked not to read that final part, and that we, as readers, would have deciphered the message behind the story. Indeed, everything you say, is there, reflected in every line: ironically, the book starts to die immediately you open it. And I wonder, beyond science fiction, is it not so with all things: we die from the very moment we are born, the image we have of a person does not begin to die at the very moment we meet him. If you want to write a book of texts, you are on the right track. This is an excellent story. Regards 👋
