The First Book of Interruption by Dewa Gero (Transcribed by JC Hanna) [COMPLETE]

Have you ever wondered why a benevolent God created evil? This is the story that one man, Dewe Gero, was brave enough to tell. For his efforts, he was virtually erased from history. This is also the story that no one is brave enough to read. At least, if they do read it, they will not be brave enough to tell others. In Dewa Gero's heresy, may we all find truth. 

What do we know about Dewa Gero? He lived a very long time ago, somewhere in the Middle East, and, as these things go, he died, also in the Middle East. Probably. He was a thinker and scribe and he held council with many of early history's most powerful and influential rulers. So, why haven't you heard of Dewa Gero? Why do we know the names of the great leaders of antiquity and their advisers and yet nothing of the once great Gero? After all, his wisdom was legendary, his insight was beyond compare, and his ability to bring meaning to the past, and guidance to future planning, was simply spellbinding. Some believe his name was erased from history, as far as a comprehensive erasure is ever possible, due to the brilliance of his intellect. Great rulers and their lackeys are never fully at ease with intellectual excellence; not when it's found in others. Being told what to do, or worse still, being told, I told you so when things go wrong, can only ever be tolerated for so long. 

Precisely what was interrupted in Gero's great Books of Interruption? Everything you thought you knew about everything. 

Brilliant as Giro undoubtedly was, he was painfully unaware of self, and that utter lack of self-awareness was his downfall-he was an insufferable smart-ass, and nobody, be they great or small, likes a smart-ass. The only reason I have bothered transcribing his words at all is, as I hope you will in the end understand, an excellent one-Giro was right. About everything. Smart-ass.
