The concept of this book was inspired by computers and how so much of the media that I've consumed that has shaped my personality came from my home computer. Many elements, including glitch screens, the file folder-esque table of contents, and dotted lines were inspired from old internet UIs.
This 'digitized' aesthetic continues throughout the book including the progress bar at the bottom of the pages and motherboard traces. In the last chapter, the book orientation is flipped to represent the persepctive of a laptop screen.
