About this site

A playable post by Vi Hart and Nicky Case about how tiny individual preferences can add up to a divided society, and what it takes to undo it.

When to open it

Give it a coffee break, about 5 to 15 minutes. It works on phones as well as computers, and it's silent, so it's safe at work or in class. Best for learning and big ideas.
