![]() the only worldbuilding in there is the bare minimum to give context to these stories and explain away things like "why can someone just run into a tornado and come out ok?"Īlso the building made out of sidewalk materials described in chapter 8 actually existsĪlso if you guys enjoy jon bois's writing, be sure to check out some of his other work, like breaking madden (which also explores stretching the concept of football past the point of reality) and "what the heck is a catch in the nfl, anyway?". Join John Egbert and his team, the Horsies, as they search for enlightenment, local American history and open receivers at the What Bowl. the focus of this story is on the people, people with thousands of years of stories to share with each other. jon bois Homestuck meets 17776, literally and metaphorically. (Just Google football in the future and it’s always the first hit.) Describing this piece is genuinely difficult: 17776 is absolutely not a novel, and yet somehow it is. Most other sci fi stories would've become obsessed with worldbuilding and explaining every little difference between the modern day and 15,000 years in the future, but 17776 isn't about that. comment your first and best Jon Bois experience and everything else Jon Bois or. My favorite not-book is Jon Bois’s online speculative novella 17776, otherwise known as What Football Will Look Like in the Future, hosted on the website SBNation. in any other story "people stopped being born and aging and dying" would be the start of an arc to solve the mystery, but the world of 17776 is one that accepted its fate long ago. One of the things i like most about 17776 is how fatalistic its world is (i know i'm using that word wrong shuddup). ![]()
