Living Literature is a narrative system for reflective reading, identity, and long-form conversation in the age of AI.
What begins as reading can become reflection, dialogue, and a deeper encounter with one's own evolving story. The map below traces the districts of the system — books, companions, indices, the reading platform, research, applied tools, and the author-facing branch.

A six-volume series on personhood in the modern age — identity, attention, and the self under AI-mediated conditions. Each book explores one dimension of selfhood and supplies the conceptual material that the companions, indices, and applied systems all draw on.
A limited prototype is already live for two books. Each demo runs a short reader session capped at three queries.
