The search spiral

Every unfamiliar name is a way out of the book.

Look it up and you're in search results, an encyclopedia and a chatbot, and the page you were on is gone. A MeBook answers in place, so the book stays open.

The Iliad · Book IPage 1

O Goddess! sing the wrath of Peleus' son,

Achilles; sing the deadly wrath that brought

Woes numberless upon the Greeks, and swept

To Hades many a valiant soul, and gave

Their limbs a prey to dogs and birds of air,—

For so had Jove appointed,—from the time

When the two chiefs, Atrides, king of men,

And great Achilles, parted first as foes.
