[Writingworkshop] Specs

[Adam Holland]

Interesting is right!
Just quirky enough style-wise to be intriguing without being jarring or
disconcerting.
Like a puzzle tough enough to be challenging, but not so hard as to make you

It works.

a lot to chew on, and some nice allegories with current technology.
Well done!
