Unholy

- You read the book. Stored on several floppy diskettes, it is little more than a series of lat-long coordinates.

- You read the book. The book contains numerous appeals to ignorance and distrust of intelligence, combined with cloying assurances that the reader is smart, beautiful, and deserving.

- You read the book. A series of family photos. In every photo, the parents have their fingers against the youngest daughters' shoulders.

- You read the book. It endlessly harps on about the ugliness of society, the ugliness of the reader, and the ugliness of politics, while promising the reader that nothing can be done.

- You read the book. A Sunday comics section, from a local newspaper. The colours seem faded and the illustrations slightly grainy, with the subject of each comic being powerlessness.

- You read the book. The ravings of a man who claims he was attacked by plague-ridden tentacles. A strange mold clings to the latter pages. You brush it off, subconsciously.

- You read the book. It is the fifth volume of a popular self-help series. The author reassures you that she believes in you. The middle of the book contains a series of hyperlinks that lead to notice of domain seizure.

- You read the book. The history of a sports team, written as a feel-good story. At the end, somebody has lodged a single photograph of the team... But you cannot say who the person in the upper-left is.
