For the last three years, I've lived in the bodies and minds of everyone I've ever known and never known to understand history, culture, racism, capitalism, science, art, and everything that makes our world and everything that breaks our world. Nothing in my life has been as dark as writing this book. In giving it out to the world will be my healing and joy. Live long, Desierto Florido, may you reach the hearts of everyone who has needed you but never known.
