Consensus — the whole novella as a single PDF, updated. Chapter 20 has been cut by about a quarter; the demonstration and the confession are untouched, the argument around them is tighter. Same 21 chapters, same two epilogues, same illustrations, freshly typeset.
Served from my own node. Free to read, as it always was. If it's worth more than that to you, there'll shortly be an EPUB for 210 sats and a zap button for anything above.
