This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

REMIX:

The Book of the New Sun is an epic journey following an exiled torturer with a photographic memory named Severian as he becomes king of the world and reignites the sun.

On the way, he encounters giants, whores, cyborgs, androids, Lovecraftian monstrosities, aliens, angels, aliens who might be angels, angel monsters, beastmen, sorcerers, witches, and futuristic nuns.

Also featuring inadvertent incest, inadvertent resurrection, time-travel (intentional and inadvertent), transubstantiation, and love.

Imagine J.R.R. Tolkien and Philip K. Dick collaborating with David Lynch, and you begin to approach the idea of Book of the New Sun.

(With guest appearances by Neil Armstrong and Jorge Luis Borges.)
