One Reid Burkland seems to have spent the better part of today trying to 
hunt down the White Book Description, and s/he's posted it on the book's 
Amazon discussion board.

Frankly, I find this portion of the description most interesting, if not 
telling in terms of P's authorial intent for his fiction:

"[...] If it is not the world, it is what the world might be with a minor 
adjustment or two. According to some, this is one of the main purposes of 
fiction."
