Competitors mentioned: OpenAI, Fallout 4
Concerns raised: Book published too quickly, suspicious timeline with previous release, Amazon description appears AI-generated, AI writing patterns detected in sample text, No proof of human authorship provided, Dialogue stilted and uses jargon (containment terminal) suggesting AI generation
Feature requests: Make more output visible before progress bar resets, Extend interaction responses beyond 'calculating global variance' message
