Jonas Enander, an astrophysicist, authored Facing Infinity: Black Holes and Our Place on Earth. He explains the role of astrophysicists versus astronomers, discusses human perspectives on black holes, and critiques their portrayal in films like Interstellar. He emphasizes science as a human endeavor influenced by emotions and prestige yet capable of producing objective knowledge. Enander utilized Scrivener for writing his book, valuing its organizational features and distraction-free modes. Despite the long-term nature of astrophysics research, he feels fortunate to contribute to current discoveries in black hole astronomy.

Scrivener doesn't use AI; prompts on Mac stem from Apple's AI tools. Unlike many apps, Scrivener keeps all text on-device and doesn’t send data to servers. Users may see AI features in newer macOS versions, but these cannot be removed from Scrivener. To disable Apple's AI prompts, turn off Apple Intelligence in system settings.
