This is like an entirely new genre within fantasy. I don't even know what you would call it, but it is both entertaining and a beautiful showing of skill all at the same time.
Maybe you can't even call it fantasy since it is real code & logic with no magic involved.
- uryga 6y agoit's something like... magical realism + hard sci-fi? not gonna attempt a portmanteau but ideas welcome
- micimize 6y agoIt's like pedagogical fantasy, or like, narrative programming instead of literate programming. In Neal Stephenson's Anathem there are monks that turn mathematical proofs into songs and other art, and it reminds me of that.
