Suddenly, a character named Britney—half-flowchart, half-Bollywood lyric—emerged from Chapter 7 (Feasibility Study). She wore Gantt charts as bangles and had a use-case diagram for a face.
The Scrabble tiles rearranged themselves: M-U-T became T-U-M (a tum, or drumbeat). The book began to hum a remix of a 90s Hindi song: “Saanson ko... system analysis kar loon...”
