I want my kids, friends, and readers to know that you can exert your will over reality. You can reconfigure the world to your liking.
White girls call it “manifesting”, tech bros like me call it a “reality distortion field” after what Steve Jobs’ friends said he had. Jobs saw a better version—a distortion—of reality and then made it happen. You can too.
