The work comprises the second edition of an original fiction by Tom Abba and Circumstance, with input from writers Neil Gaiman and Nick Harkaway. Twin cities, one imagined as parallel to another, real site, each possess distinct rules and cultures, details of which are presented as a form of gazetteer in an softbound book provided as a guide for users (the book comprises two volumes each printed obversely to the other - one for each city). The story wove between the two cities and invited readers to nominate specific areas of their locale in sequence, making use of physical space, and demanding that each reader walked while looking, while reading and reflecting. The second edition of this work was completely rebuilt, in order to function in any location worldwide. Readers nominate a series of locations in the first chapter, which are retained by the software in order to return in successive chapters.
The work is scheduled for worldwide release in July 2020.
