in one of the volumes of “Alternative History,” I proposed a theory that I’m as if in a shadow ban, as if the system is hiding me, and I’m in a shadow ban. That I exist, but for now no one can see my books, read them, or notice me, because I’m in a shadow ban. But when the time comes, I’ll come out of that shadow ban, and suddenly everyone will see and notice everything and be surprised at how they hadn’t seen me before. And here it gets interesting, because you can look at it from the opposite angle: maybe it’s not that I’m in a shadow ban, but simply that people are not in this world, not in mine right now. That is, I’m in my own kind of world, writing my own kind of books — this is some kind of frequency, some kind of vibration. Put simply, in human terms, it’s like a target audience, a social stratum. It’s the same as if you’re in a world of rockers making classical music on piano and cello, and the rocker people don’t understand you or see you. And then something happens with those rockers, and they all suddenly start loving piano music. And here it’s the same thing. As if something has to happen in the world, after which the book will suddenly appear before everyone’s eyes, as if it will light up for everyone, and everyone will start to see it and read it, and it will deeply resonate with them. And the point is, it’s as if, right now, in the world where I’m writing this book — and the world embedded within this book — there are still no people. I’m waiting for them to appear. That is, all people seem to be currently connected to some other Wi-Fi, but they need to connect to the Wi-Fi that I’m connected to, where I’m writing these books. And when they connect to that, they’ll start reading all these books. So it feels like the book itself isn’t supposed to connect people to my Wi-Fi... Well, not mine because it belongs to me, but because I’m connected to it. It’s more like people will, for other reasons, connect to this Wi-Fi of mine, and the book is like an explanation of where they’ve landed. In other words, the book is more of a manual about what happened to people or where they’ve arrived, or who they were and who they’ve become. It’s like something will happen, and they’ll suddenly become kind, their hearts will activate, whereas now they’re angry and lost, because they’re in some other world that seems to be collapsing. And they’re still in that world, and it’s like they need to transition from it into this other world, where my books are an instruction manual for them about the new world. And about how they lived in the old one — so they can let it go — and about the new one. That’s the kind of theory I have, a hypothesis.
