This is one of the most delightful stories I've ever read, and I knew right away that I wanted to read it out loud.

The story is one chapter in a whole book about Trurl and his frienemy Klapaucius, two almost-but-not-quite omnipotent constructors in a whimsical universe of robots.

The visuals are from a bot that runs the deep-dream algorithm live while constantly zooming in and changing what things it is looking for, and streams this whole process to http://www.twitch.tv/317070

Thanks to my friend Jane Spacerobot who introduced me to this amazing book. Jane makes jewelry that looks awesome and also says important things: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SpacerobotStudio
