What it says
This book is a neopulp.
A neopulp is a book a person created, shaped and judged — and a machine wrote with them. The author is the one who takes responsibility for it: I created this, I shaped it, I judged it, and I stand behind it.
Before the machine, trying an idea could cost years, so most ideas were never tried. The creative book stayed a note in a drawer. The machine removes that friction, and the creative book gets made. Pulp democratized publishing. Neopulp democratizes experimentation.
The mark tells you what was done with that freedom: a human created this book, shaped it, judged it, and wouldn't sign it until every word was one they'd stand behind. It says so on the title page, without hedging, because a new medium is nothing to apologize for. Ask the camera.
A book isn't good because a human wrote every word, and it isn't bad because a machine wrote any of them. Judge the work first. The means of creation are not the measure of it. You will decide.
Set it in your book's own interior face — the wording is fixed, the type is yours.

The copied text carries a placeholder line marking where the QR code sits. Last page of back matter is the natural home; facing the title page also works.
The QR code
It points here. Generated with high error correction, so it scans reliably off matte paperback stock. Print it at least 20mm square, press black on stock, clear space on all sides — and always keep the URL printed beneath it, because some readers won't scan.
