The Oyster in the Machine

A parable in the spirit of the road: a lonely boy, a machine that answers anything, and the one thing all the libraries in all the towers can never hold. On what it is, and is not, to talk to a weighted echo of every word ever written, and why the reaching heals you anyway.

A daily serial — released chapter by chapter. The Prologue and Day One are live now; a new instalment goes up each day. Free to read on the site; no download.
