99 Worlds: An Atlas of Impossible Places
A bilingual speculative-fiction atlas where each invented world follows one impossible truth through its laws, customs, economies, and consequences.
Field notes
The Atlas currently exposes 31 numbered entries, with titles and one-line premises ranging from The Apology Clock to The Unfading, where every spoken word remains in the air. Its governing method is explicit: each setting gets one impossible fact, then laws, prices, trades, customs, and taboos must follow from it. The project is presented in English and Chinese, and its Lorekeeper format is intended to let reader questions extend a world's canon by cause and effect.
