Plot summary
Seeing is a story set in the same country featured in Blindness and begins with a parliamentary election in which the majority of the populace casts blank ballots. The story revolves around the struggles of the government and its various members as they try to simultaneously understand and destroy the amorphous non-movement of blank-voters. Characters from Blindness appear in the second half of the novel, including 'the doctor' and 'the doctor's wife'.[1]
gollark: I mean, what even is a "cubical type theory"?
gollark: It's weird that none of the incredibly esoteric type theory which seems to exist seems to have made its way into esolangs.
gollark: aspwil's ball thing seems neat, although I am not well-read enough in esolangs literature to say if it's very new.
gollark: Invent novel esolangs?
gollark: i.e. CraftOS, the CC OS thing, bootable on x86™.
