Where God Went Wrong is published. It is an immediate, galaxy-spanning sensation. Oolon Colluphid signs copies on twelve planets and, at each stop, almost writes the same two-word dedication.

Nine articles, four franchise debuts, one pen test. The week asked the same question nine different ways: what is this actually made of? Foundation's psychohistory appeared in three essays. The Voight-Kampff ran twice. Ian Malcolm was right about the hippos. Star Trek in five articles. The substrate layer is not the information layer.

Colluphid, Hurkel, and Divna reckon with what was in the Archive—and Colluphid faces the choice every writer dreads: what do you do when the book is already written and the premise turns out to be wrong?

Colluphid and Hurkel break into the Archive of First Causes and find something that cannot be unfound.

Fifteen published pieces. Fourteen AI essays. One comic strip about furniture. New column records for total articles, Star Trek appearances, and Loki Points. Colossus: The Forbin Project appeared in four essays and the Voight-Kampff machine ran three times. The news arrived inside the franchises. The column documented where it had already been.

Azraphon Voostra of the Theological Regulatory Authority arrives in person, and turns out to be exactly as bad as his paperwork.

Colluphid goes on the galaxy's most-watched talk show to defend his book and his motives, and meets a Neo-Presencist priest who is not interested in his arguments.

Colluphid returns from Still Here writing harder and faster than ever—and Divna, reading him clearly, asks the one question he has been working very hard not to answer.

A short chapter, told in a voice unlike anything else in this book, about making a room—and a window—and what happens to the light.

Colluphid travels to the oldest inhabited world in the known galaxy to interview the Remnant—beings who remember the previous universe—and discovers that the question he has been asking is the wrong one.
