Do you have an Instagram or any other outlet for getting exposure for this work? This is a *unique contribution to human culture* --which is the pinnacle, really, of achievement. You should definitely write a book, IMHO, FWIW. I think you could get a cult following. People like to do all kind of hard things, like learning the ukulele, or whatever.

At the very least--and a very cool scenario-- someone will discover your book in the future, 100 years, 500 years from now. Your contribution to human culture will be immortal. Children in classrooms on space stations will be studying you.
