    This is a mystery.

    A man named Dow signed up for a clinical trial called the Abacus project. It promises to use advanced technology to uncover the mysteries of reality. Dow wrote 18 letters during his time in the trial. This is letter number 1.

    To help solve the mystery, our AI sleuths draw on the insights from cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman (The Case Against Reality), philosopher Catherine Malabou (What Should We Do With Our Brain?), and mythologist Joseph Campbell (The Hero with a Thousand Faces).

    Abacus Dow tells a fictional story weaving together both Artificial and Organic Intelligence to explore big ideas and learn out loud.
