Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What a family builds in the dark is one thing. What gets built in the light is something else - and the world does not forgive that quietly.Three years after Patient Bridge opened its door on Lake Avenue, the Li family has a cabinet of eleven thousand index cards: every denial, every code,…every outcome, kept by hand by a nurse who knows no other way to record a person. Each card is one person they helped, one night they got through. None of them, alone, is a pattern.Then Rebecca Li - the lawyer who used to be an optimizer, the daughter of the nurse who saw the shape in 1980 and was told, kindly, to stop - looks at the cabinet at dawn and understands what she has been keeping. Not a memorial. A dataset.What follows is the slow, deliberate work of proving in a language that cannot be waved away what every kitchen table has known for a generation: that the denials do not fall like hail. To do it, Rebecca recruits Paul Keller, a statistician who left the machine after it killed his mother by installments, on one condition - that he, and not she, code the data, and that the truth be whatever it turns out to be. To do it, the family must take a thing built quietly, around a table, and stand it up in the light.And to do it, they pay. In the rebuilt life Paul has just put back together. In the hospital that stops commissioning Frank's chairs. In the funder who folds, the pleasant man in the coffee shop who offers to lift every pressure if the work is set aside to rest, the parcel that arrives addressed to no one. In the stranger inside the machine who burns down everything he has built for the sake of four words and no name, and is never thanked, because no one ever learns who he was.What Gets Built is the second novel in the Long Landing Trilogy and a prequel to the Still Point Trilogy. It is a book about what speaking a true thing out loud actually costs, who pays the bill, and why - having counted that cost down to the cent - a family chooses the open anyway.
