About this book
Big data, neural networks, AI algorithms ... All of
this is happening right now, in the world where Castalia
province has not been established, the «The Glass
Bead Game » has not been invented, the Magister Ludi
have never been born. But in this real world of post-
human technologies and neutron future we can play
words, science and human again. This book is a game
– and there are rules, there are winners and losers in
it. But if you are playing this game and sift through the
beads of words, perhaps you are already the winner?
In this book author used a public online service for
generating pseudo-scientific texts by Yandex company.
The text given on the cards is a gibberish from 12 areas
of science (Astronomy, Geology, Gyroscopy, Literature,
Marketing, Mathematics, Musicology, Political science,
Soil Science, Law, Psychology, Country Studies, Physics,
Philosophy, Chemistry, Aesthetics). In a number of texts
one can find a minimal author’s editorial correction.
The visual component of the game is based on the public
image archive (CC0 license) pixabay.com, as well as on
the author’s imitation of multiple exposure technique.
Sincerely yours
Alexander Chernavskiy
