Parallel Town is about a computer programmed to prove that it does not exist. Trying to find that proof, the computer builds a model-intelligence, then simulates a town and sets that model [Peter Sierpinski] as the townsfolk within.

Running alongside his parallel selves, Sierpinski is a Henchman, a Computer Scientist, a Spaceman, a Television Host; the ghost in the machine of an AI seagull and an ICBM; and is the Last and Nefarious men, who seek to end the pain of existential crisis by collapsing their cosmos into the next.

Parallel Town will be released in episodes across two formats: Audio, & Graphics and Novel.

First, a reading of the episode will be released here. This will be followed by a booklet in which the episode text will be set alongside images, drawings or diagrams. A crowdfund campaign will be launched to pay the artists, printing and other costs, and the episode will be published if that is successful. In each campaign a support tier will include a reading of that episode on cassette.

Straying toward hard sci-fi but written in a simple voice, PARALLEL TOWN is about the similarities between lifeforms in a closed system.

Blending parallel worlds and parallel processing, using the constraints of a real-world AI model to root the story, and exploring simulation and holographic theories, PARALLEL TOWN reads what is written inside the Black Box.
