Mad whalers¸ startup bullshit¸ nuclear family robots¸ medical trial dreamers¸ and devil children...

The HTML file is TTS-friendly¸ responsive to your screen size¸ and has a slew of display controls¸ from colour schemes to text formatting¸ plus navigation links to help you traverse the text! All this is encoded in the file itself¸ so you only have one file to handle¸ just like a .pdf.

Backdrops
In Hell's Heart¸ the crew of a whaling ship find their language warping under the sway of a tyrannical¸ monomaniacal Captain and the awesome power of the Whale they pursue.
In The Founding¸ the dynamic¸ oppressive¸ and esoteric culture of an all-consuming nightmare tech startup spawns its own brand of corporate bullshit-ese.
In Imitations of Life¸ nuclear robots¸ programmed oppression¸ and the suburban death zone give life to a new language... for a time.
In The Trial¸ clinical trials using a bizarre new psychotrophic drug put the participants in touch with humanity's Universal Unconscious¸ where sense and thought collide.
In Rapscallions!¸ children discover a dread artefact of demonic power and form a secret cabal to wreak havoc¸ little-understanding the forces they're tampering with.
