I write like Wikipedia: publish first, then invite critique and remix. Our book Plurality was open from outline to release under CC0. Over 60 contributors and 100+ editors participated. It spawned adaptations — a UK young‑adult novel (Any Human Power), a short film (Good Enough Ancestor), a student‑friendly Japanese adaptation, etc. Paradoxically, by relinquishing individual control early, we achieved better community‑level control and a more inclusive narrative — even blending Taiwan’s ROC/independence threads into a shared history.
