you gaze into the abyss and it shyly averts its eyes, not used to that sort of attention

have you tried putting the problem into a centrifuge and dumping the precipitate instead of solving it

books grow in this library, ripe with memetic spores, fruiting bodies of an extensive mythelium system that supplies them with ideas

acid snow falls, shimmers like nacre, snowflakes distorted and twisted

and SNAP, it’s bound! If you set up the sigil properly that is. Use the wrong sigil and it may fail to bind, or worse. You don’t want worse.

Once active, the sigil plucks the strings of spacetime in just the right way, lures in a spider. It presses a face against the prison bars,

This is a fundamental theorem of modern demonology! Until then, nobody knew why specific grids worked or how to find new (safe) sigils!

The Chladni Correspondence tells us: From each name, you can derive a resonance pattern that you can use to call in and then bind a demon.

Did you know demons don’t actually manifest “inside” a summoning circle? As summoners know, they appear under it like sharks against a cage

Magical radiation makes the city’s houses develop cancers: Walls covered in door handles, bays protruding everywhere, atavistic buttresses

they’re firebows, small enough to fit in your hand whole, and so many shades of red and orange↵you pluck one like a flower

how 2 invest: you send it currency and a conversational script it can run, more successful scripts obviously yield higher returns

a chatbot that runs in one of those smart contract blockchains and supports itself through scamming people on messengers & dating sites

“Why cats?” Well, source material is readily available, and would humans really let digital life into their files if it weren’t cute?

Their avatars are catlike, but constantly morph in subtle patterns to signal kinship: Non-kin are quickly recognized and killed really dead.

They’re really fond of zip files for some reason. If you open one that’s been undisturbed for a few weeks, you may see a catbot scamper away

Some of those computer viruses have now evolved to be benign, in fact hunt other viruses in exchange for shelter, wear cat pictures as icons

You run into the monthly simulation limit and suddenly the world becomes low poly, sounds tinny, and the same twelve thoughts play in a loop

technological singularity but in a circling-the-drain sort of way, event horizon as the point of no return

Two black holes merging, and a civilization moving to higher radio frequencies as it heads towards singularity, sound fundamentally the same

when left to its own devices, a search engine will dream of links and networks, and lost in their abstract beauty hallucinate a second web

we hunt beholders for their eyes since that’s where beauty lies, each exquisite artifact once a beholder’s joy in life
