The film is over, but the existential dread is just getting started. If you’re not quite ready to accept that the world doesn’t exist, you can read the first two chapters of the book for free. It’s significantly more portable than the void.

Divine Complaints Welcome

Mara has a list of complaints. About the universe. About its design choices. About why socks always disappear when you do laundry.

What follows is a philosophical rabbit hole involving Reddit conspiracy threads, a professor who knows too much, and a key inscribed with the fine-structure constant: 137.035999.

Because the truth isn't just stranger than fiction. The truth is that we are the fiction. And someone upstairs? They're binge-watching.

Olber's Paradox: If the universe is infinite and eternal, why isn't the night sky blindingly bright with starlight? Unless someone's controlling the render distance.

If you enjoyed the short film, you will love the book!

If someone created the universe, can we at least file a complaint?

Featuring 137 divine complaints, one very opinionated dog, and an ending that will make you question every coincidence you've ever experienced.
