“I wish you have dialogue in there”, says Claus. Amelia later tells me Claus was a pastor and taught that book (Slaughterhouse five). She tells me he is very well read. He mentioned Pico Iyer and how we are global citizens and can choose our own spirituality. I mention my plans of writing a book about raising consciousness using AI. And how the only way to make it readable is to make it a story. 

Claus: So, it will be an academic paper?

Me: No, it will be a novel – something like science fiction. 

Claus: You know what would be a perfect read? Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughter-house five. It’s got everything.

Me: Yeah, I can’t read much, some kind of reading disability. I don’t know about my style. If it is fiction or non-fiction. Maybe this dialogue will be in there.
