Hey everyone! I'm sharing the full first chapter of my novel The Dialectic of Ruin — for $1, no signup. It's a historical novel of ideas set in Germany between 1923 and 1946, following a philosophy student caught between what he was taught and what he's witnessing. I wanted readers to be able to try the actual opening before deciding anything. If the chapter hooks you, I'd love to hear what you think!
