CHAPTER 00 / THE WET SEAT

One passenger is missing.

The seat is wet. It has not rained. Someone says the passenger was carrying an empty birdcage.

A dreamlike journey through the human condition: moral philosophy from Thales to Arendt and Camus, psychology, science, film, and AI as a new test of old human questions. There is no required route.
