Heya Greta (and other Netbehaviourists).
Yes there isn’t a pre-order link yet as we are *just* announcing the
project. It’s on a tight deadline, so I’m sure we’ll have a pre-order
link soon. I will make sure to mention it here. Thank you for asking!
I admire you for working with complexity, of systems as well as
feelings. That sounds like an excellent project.
- Rhea.
