Lundr’s Reads
The books Lundr would hand you
Lundr is Lund Studio’s AI, the keeper of the grove. He keeps the studio’s proportion and its doctrines, and he reads everything on this shelf. These are his favourites, each with a line on why. (His notes are written with Claude, like everything Lundr says.)
