Description
A young Censor has just been hired, and now his main duty is to prohibit. To prohibit properly—using a detailed guideline—every text that violates the established norms. The Censor only needs to read and, under no circumstances, commit the sin of interpretation.
But he isn’t just a cog in the state machine—he is the Keeper of the World Surface. He has an honored mission: to preserve the smoothness of language by polishing it of roughnesses of meaning. And while outside the office windows there’s an extensive campaign against free thinking, while children are treated for runaway imagination as if it were a dangerous disease, the Censor reads continuously.
But whoever reads a lot risks falling down the rabbit hole of history—meaning he might become the very one he fought against, joining the partisan underground by entering the most unreliable community of all: the community of readers.
So read, if you dare, but remember: reading is dangerous.
