The Invisible Word Was Madagascar
A history professor hides a word in white font on an exam paper and thirty-two students hand back essays about the Industrial Revolution in Madagascar. A farmer trusts a chatbot for a year and loses twenty-five acres in a night. Plus a usage limit that goes up by going down, and a red sign in a shopping mall.
