Its cover, dust jacket, and a 16-page insert are all printed on GSK semi-transparent paper — a material that renders the object partially translucent, giving it a quality closer to a found document than a conventional publication. The interior is printed in full colour on Magno usomano 140g stock, stitched-bound, 144 pages, A5 format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe World Inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book draws its source material from Nostalgia Simulator, a fictional PC game said to have briefly circulated among certain communities in the Pacific Northwest during the autumn of 1997. Distributed across four 1.44MB floppy discs, the game mapped a modest world divided into four regions. Despite graphics that exceeded the technical norms of the period, it fell quickly into obscurity — attributed to limited marketing, in-game bugs, and poor critical reception from the few players who encountered it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe atmosphere the book inhabits is one of domestic unease and slow dissolution. Three fragments from the text establish its register:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"It smells sour with decay.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"It reeks of rotten wood and mold.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"It lulls you familiar and comforting somewhere between a memory and a dream.
