What is "Telephoning The Infinite?"

I found this book at a thrift store for a dollar. It is literally exactly what it says it is. I'm using it to create a blackout poetry project, step 1 of which is to go line by line using a number pad and excavating words. In 6 lines, I've found 70. It took an hour and a half. This is, realistically, going to take years. Yes, I could use AI, plug in the parameters, and have it do the hard part for me. But that destroys the purity of the work. The work is about man's attempt to contain and understand the infinite. And really, isn't that what art is?
