Your personal introduction
told through seven books.
The internet made it possible to meet everyone. But it also made it harder to know anyone. A person is reduced to a title, a profile picture, and a ribbon of achievements to reassure strangers that they are worth attention.
7Spines is built to refuse that thinness.
The Book as a Modern Medium
A book is a slow object. It resists the logic of the feed and rewards sustained attention.
Few artifacts shape a person as deeply as books. Books reveal things you notice, things you tolerate, that you aspire to do, what you fear doing, what you admire and what you consider true. Books don't care about status.
The Number Seven
Seven is constraint by design.
It prevents accumulation and performance. Seven is the smallest number that reveals pattern and creates shape without becoming a large collection.
Workflow

Write your annotations
Each book carries two meanings. The first is what the book gives: takeaways, ideas. The second is why it matters to you. Together, they turn books from content into context.
Take your time with these, this is what your audience will get to know you through.
