Three clever editors (who have spent altogether too much time reviewing crackpot manuscripts on the occult by fanatics and dilettantes) decide to have a little fun. They
are inspired by an extraordinary fable they heard years before
from a suspiciously natty colonel, who claimed to know of
a mystic source of power greater than atomic energy.
On a lark, the editors begin randomly feeding
esoteric bits of knowledge into an incredible computer
capable of inventing connections between all their entries.
What they believe they are creating is a long, lazy
game-until the game starts taking over....
Here is an incredible journey of thought and history,
memory and fantasy, a tour de force as enthralling as anything
Umberto Eco-or indeed anyone-has ever devised.
