If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle. It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get. www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba...

With Boundless winding up, the rights revert back to me. The book is complete (and has been for a year and a day now!), and I think it's quite fun. I will try to see if I can get a publisher's interest in the project. (If you know anybody, let me know 😁).
