The Wanting Hour
A novel about the desire mechanism, and the cost of mistaking it for a message.
In a dream laboratory, wanting and seeking start to behave like a force, and someone keeps a ledger in four columns: what was wanted, what was done, what happened, and what would make it wrong.
This is a book about the fourth column.
— the one nobody fills in first.
