+# New Dawn
+
+These are the files for a ... book? story? I'm writing.
+Not really sure what to call it. It's a website.
+
+You can read it here: https://book.lostcave.ddnss.de/
+If that doesn't work for you, there will be a mirror on GitHub (tbd).
+
+If you want to read it offline, you can `git clone` this (or just download
+the files).
+
+On Linux / any Unix system with bash installed, run `./deployment-script`
+to build the index.html. On other systems, I guess you will be missing the
+landing page offline.
