For
Readers of speculative histories of computation
Worth noticing
The narrator says the notes were written in 2057 and reached 2026; companion-model annotations are marked [A].

Field notes

The five-part outline moves from early experiments with electricity through the pocket-computing era and a projected handover period. The narrator’s opening frames the shift through concrete historical episodes, including Galvani’s frog-leg experiment and Lovelace’s notes on a calculating engine. The page labels the companion model’s interventions separately, so readers can distinguish its remarks from the lecturer’s account.
