Summary: ALPHABETICA is an allegorical satire set up in the fantasy world of "Planet Typewriter". This land of "unity-in-diversity" is divided when the twenty-one Consonants discover that they are the original 3500-year-old Phoenician letters. The five Vowels, who came much later, are declared Greek intruders. When the Vowels emerge as the dominant word shareholders in the dictionary, the Consonant Majority retaliates with the "Rise of the Phoenicians" campaign. The Vowels are forced to seek asylum in the land of the Numbers. With the world of words silenced, the Typewriter God abandons the Consonants. https://notionpress.com/read/alphabetica
