## Literary Disclaimer

The **Rolodexter Literary Canon** is a curated collection of fictional works within the *Reality Fiction* universe, created by Joe Maristela.

Any resemblance to real individuals, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

The content within this dataset is intended for creative exploration, research, and AI-driven narrative generation. It should not be construed as a factual representation of historical events or real people. The **Rolodexter Literary Canon** explores themes such as identity, AI, and the blurring of lines between reality and fiction, and it encourages readers and creators to engage with these topics in a speculative and thought-provoking manner.
