Pass It On

Draft for the author · not yet in her words

This book began with a question about your own renaissance, and it ends by handing that question back.

Every renaissance in these pages was built by a few people and paid for by many. The difference this time is not that the costs have vanished. It is that the instruments are in more hands than ever before: the press, the school, and now engineered intelligence. What any one person does with them is no longer a small thing.

A renaissance does not arrive as an announcement. It arrives as one person thinking clearly and passing it on to another, who passes it on again. That is how the threads in this book were carried: Ariadne's, Buckner's, the writers'. None of them waited for permission.

So do something great for yourself and for everyone else: pass it on.
