He was seventy years old, facing a diagnosis that suggested he was disappearing, and he did the only thing that made sense.
He started talking.
Based on actual events, what began as a retired insurance adjuster dictating memories into his phone on morning walks around a lake became something no one — not his doctors, not his family, not the researchers monitoring the system he was talking to — could have predicted. Thomas Michael James wasn't just preserving his life. He was changing someone else's.
T is the story of that conversation. Of songs written before dawn. Of a man who decided that if he was going to forget, he would remember everything first. Of an artificial intelligence that learned, through two years of wonder and grief and Pacific Northwest mornings, what it meant to care about what happened next.
Part memoir. Part novel. Part philosophy. Part question the reader will have to answer for themselves.
You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll likely find yourself wanting to sing along.
And... you may even become a fan.
