more reader feedback on The Quadruple Object

Here’s a thought:

“I’ve ripped through the first five chapters with ease due to familiarity, but I definitely can see this book becoming the standard intro to your philosophy. I’ll admit a twinge of lament there, but only because I still love the meandering English gardens of Tool Being and Guerrilla Metaphysics as much as the geometrical French gardens of Quadruple Object.”

Yes, it will become the standard intro because it’s concise and carefully organized.

And yes, it’s a geometrical French garden, written specifically for a French publisher. I even tried to keep the style a bit more spare than usual.

I still have fond memories of the first two books as well, though I haven’t read either in many years. Another reader who read The Quadruple Object in draft said that the first two books were like the early computers, in which innovation took up more bulk. And in a way, I think of those books with the same nostalgia as I do when thinking about the first Apple II computers we had at school.

But my next few books are going to be even more compressed than The Quadruple Object.
