To tell you the truth, you’re currently holding a pure akratic object in your hands, yet \u003ci\u003ereasonably\u003c\/i\u003e priced at single-digit dollars and 99 cents. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eGood luck with that one. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e* This novel by Leyner isn’t yet published as I go to press, the influence here being non-causal, making the two books \u003ci\u003eentangled\u003c\/i\u003e in a quantum mechanical sense.
