The Hitchhiker Vision Fish Docs
A single shelf of creative documents to share with prospective Vision Fish - the people the mice invite to pledge time, lend judgement, and lend a name to the Game of 42. It is one two-year story - a quiet declaration in 2026, the Annual Galactic Meeting on 4 July 2027, and on toward the 2028 horizon - told six ways. Read whichever voice fits you; they all compress back to the same wager: many singularities, one commons, no centre - privacy realised as value.
These were visioning sessions, so the dates are intentions and the headline figures (42,000 users, $4.2M, 42 billion tokens) are motifs and targets, not forecasts. Download any document below; the figure is the map they all describe.
The Hitchhiker's Timeline - the Game of 42, from a quiet declaration to the Annual Galactic Meeting and on toward 2028.
The six documents
- Core - the canonical briefing and map: the Game of 42 from a quiet declaration to a planet that thinks together without a centre.
- Strategy - the two-year plan as a proposal for the Vision Fish: the events, convergences and thresholds, with an honest account of what is still unresolved.
- Editorial - the story of the path, told as a narrative.
- Saga - a mostly-true sci-fi adventure: how forty-two people set out to build a planet that could think for itself without ever agreeing to a centre.
- Sci-Fi Story - the revised Earth entry as it appears in the forty-second edition of the Guide, compiled in 2042.
- Proverbs - forty-two proverbs and a handful of spells distilled from the timeline; a quarry, not a monument.
All six are below as downloadable Markdown and PDF, alongside the timeline figure.
