About the Book
Hiya! You might know me from my website, where I publish software essays on history, engineering, and formal methods. Not everything I write makes it there, though, and I sometimes kill essays that are mostly written. I've collected four of these essays into this thing, editing notes, TODOs, and missing sentences intact. They are:
Again, word of warning: these are not complete essays. Two were 90% done and two were 40-60% done. Sections end suddenly, wild claims are unsubstantiated, and there's at least one case of TODO I hate this burn it all down. I did no cleanup whatsoever. I'm putting this out for people who really like my writing and/or want a means to throw money at me.
(Yes, I realize the deep irony of charging for my abandoned drafts and making my best content free. I am easily amused.)
