the End of the Line
 

THIS book begins with one first, simple text thread that initiates a metaphysical (and physical) proposition. This thread progressively splinters into multiple weaving threads of text, unfolding different stories and approaches that deal with the proposition in very different ways. Despite short episodes that are impossible to read (for visual and story reasons) all of the threads are legible from their beginning to end. Visually, the threads are subtlely colour-coded to help the reader stay with any particular thread from page to page throughout the book, should they choose. Eventually, the threads slowly recombine, each via their own coherent logic, to the same conclusion!

Which thread could we say embodies “the truth”? Any of them? All of them, but only in their total, synergetic form? With so many contradictory facets,
what is the truth?
