Inside the book
A kinder operating manual.
System Shock is for anyone whose capacity is real, variable, and routinely misunderstood. It looks at the practical and emotional work of designing around a body and brain that do not follow a standard schedule.
Inside are stories about energy, shame, ambition, money, relationships, and the small decisions that make a difficult day more possible. It is not a promise that everything will be easy. It is a reminder that your limits are information, not a character flaw.
