    While it was intended to be an ephemeral piece, like a live recitation of the Epic, happily it was preserved by the Internet Archive for your perusal.

    As to why i'm posting it here, (NB I'm only partway through Book 2 ) it's about a group of immortal Gadgeteer's who are trying to reverse global warming.

    It's a nice example of the Barbaric Epic style of story-telling, that has the chewy core of hard science concealed within the chocolate-coating of ephemeral poetry created to be spoken.

    Deliciously chewy, and technically feasible.
