“Set This House in Order: a Romance of Souls” by Matt Ruff (1)

I asked Google’s A.I. (Gemini) the question:

In the book's title “Set This House in Order, a Romance of Souls” by Matt Ruff, did the author really mean, Alternate Personalities, NOT Souls?

Google’s A.I. (Gemini) answered, Yes:

“In ‘Set This House in Order: A Romance of Souls,’ Matt Ruff is indeed writing about what is clinically known as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly referred to as Multiple Personality Disorder. While the book uses a more fantastical and structured internal world to tell its story, the core premise is built directly upon the experience of having alternate personalities (or ‘Alters’).” Not souls.
