THE PAPERVERSE
A
CREATION OF HAND INKYTECH, THE PAPERVERSE IS A SO-CALLED ‘CONCEPT-FARM’.
MEMETICALLY-ENGINEERED FOR MAXIMUM IMAGINATIVE CROP YIELD, THE PAPERVERSE IS AN
ONGOING 2-DIMENSIONAL NARRATIVE UNIVERSE BASED ON TRADITIONAL AMERICAN COMIC
BOOK FICTION - THESE TYPE OF ‘SUPER-HERO’ STORIES WERE FOUND TO BE LEAST
RESISTANT TO REAL SCIENCE CONSIDERATIONS AND THEREFORE MORE FERTILE GROUND FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF IMAGINARY TECHNOLOGIES. IMPOSSIBLE MACHINERY CAN BE IMPLANTED
WITHIN THESE PERMANENTLY ROLLING ‘CONTINUITIES’, NOURISHED INTO POSSIBILITY AND
FINALLY HARVESTED INTO 3-D EXISTENCE TO ENHANCE THE ONGOING OPERATIONS OF THE
HAND.
OUTLANDISH TECHNOLOGIES AND WEAPONS ARE ‘WRITTEN IN’ TO THE ‘STORY’, TESTED BY
THE ‘CHARACTERS’ IN LIVING SCENARIOS MAINTAINED AND FARMED BY EXPERTS. A LARGE
PERCENTAGE OF RETRIEVED CONCEPTS ARE TOO FRAIL TO SURVIVE THE RETURN FROM THE
PRESSURES OF 2-D, OF COURSE, AND DISINTEGRATE UPON DECOMPRESSION INTO THREE
DIMENSIONS BUT THIS PROBLEM IS NOW BEING ATTENDED TO AS THE NARRATIVE
DEVELOPMENT OF ‘INVULNERABLE’ WEAPONS AND TECHNOLOGY ACCELERATES AND YIELDS
SPECTACULAR DURABLE RESULTS. SOME FASCINATING AND BIZARRE ARTEFACTS HAVE
ALREADY BEEN RECOVERED FROM THE CRUSHING FATHOMS OF THE PAPERVERSE BUT THIS
ASPECT OF HAND WORK HAS ALWAYS BEEN REGARDED AS SLIGHTLY FRIVOLOUS AND
CONTROVERSIAL BY THE HIGHER ECHELONS OF THE ORGANISATION AND REMAINS SO TO THIS
VERY DAY.
