Congratulations! As someone working on my own sci-fi novel, I thought your comment "I kept on tinkering because it was more comfortable than overcoming the fear of launching," was so damn true.
Just out of curiousity, did you attempt the traditional agent and publisher route and if so any learnings you'd be willing to share with someone who'd like to go down that route?
Congratulations on shipping! Not sure what the process is for US-based public libraries to buy new books, but you should look into it. Where I live (Cupertino, California), the new books section gets read (a lot!)
Thank you! I did also submit this to IngramSparks, which is a platform for bookstores and libraries. From what I've read, the process would be to enable the book for distribution, and libraries would have a way in their systems to review and place orders for new books that are released.
Five years is an impressive commitment. In a world that often celebrates speed, it's refreshing to see long-term creative projects that require patience and consistency.
You know what, I seriously considered selling this on the blockchain, but cut it out of scope on the end :) if you are serious, we can always do a manual transaction
They’d run out of cash in twelve weeks. Of course, nobody knew this except for Terry—as a founder, Terry carried that burden alone. He protected his team from the dire reality so they could focus on shipping the goddamn product.
... The burden of running out of pay for the other guys is casually not mentioned?...
Unless your only audience is startup founders I might just replace it with some different phrasing...
He didn't want to distract his team while also fearing about being able to keep paying them...
Just my 2c to make the average reader care more :))

Just an FYI, your site text is not readable. It's a white fade background with white text.
Are you trying to read the sample chapters? What browser are you on? And did you try toggling dark/light mode?
I will buy the ebook if I can pay with crypto.
