Title

The book is named after the 1999 song "Every You Every Me" by British rock band Placebo. Levithan said that "when I started writing the book, I wanted the novel to be my equivalent of a Sleeping with Ghosts era Placebo song. But in the book itself, it never says that the character listens to Placebo. The reference is more to the writing than to the events of the story, or the point of view."[1]

gollark: And make it increment `i` itself.
gollark: You could also make it do `while #primes < tuning do`.
gollark: The `ipairs` iterator gives us `key, value` for each item of the table (in order). The key is unnecessary here, so it's just bound to `_`, the convention I've seen a lot for variables you're discarding.
gollark: As you can see, you don't actually need to explicitly compute the length anywhere.
gollark: Here's how I would do it:```lualocal function divisible_by_any(n, factors) for _, factor in ipairs(factors) do if n % factor == 0 then return true end end return falseendlocal primes = { 2, 3 }for i = 2, 100 do if not divisible_by_any(i, primes) then table.insert(primes, i) endendfor _, prime in ipairs(primes) do print(prime) end```
