This book is reproduced here (in a manner that is as close as possible to the original) for those on the smol internet that may find the content interesting and useful.
I have added additional links as navigational aids among its various sections, and converted references to websites in the Notes chapter into active links. I have edited the the Gemtext markup to clean up some of the remnants of the conversion from HTML (for example: **bold** or *italics*, or replace a horizontal rule with a Unicode asterism), the body of the text is essentially unchanged.
