Published in 1851, this novel was among the most experimental of its time.
Let's load it using Fast Forward™:
You didn't press the button. Go back!
Do you see how the text blurs
as if the whole novel is a series of incredibly long sentences?
Do you notice the bolded chapter headings
which, at these speeds, are unreadable
and therefore mean nothing?
Do you see how the white spaces in the margins offer a blankness
a haven for symbolic interpretation?
SERIOUSLY, ARE YOU THICK IN THE HEAD?
THICK! THICK! THICK!
THICK! THICK! THICK!
And now with Fast Forward Audio™,
which fast-forwards an audio version of the book:
Fast Forward™ is a breakthrough in how we read.
With this app, Moby Dick becomes a masterpiece of understatement.
Our next novel includes not just text, but images...

This novel has been re-imagined as both play and movie
but Fast Forward™ takes it to an entirely new level.
You didn't press the button. Go back!
Note how the whole story is told with flickering images
between small islands of text.
Words blur into actions, and actions into words.
Words and actions in life are often counterparts to each other
the mind torn between right and wrong
You say the novel ran too fast?
You can't tell what's going on?
!!!STOP MULTITASKING
AND WATCH THE BOOK AGAIN!!!
And now with Fast Forward Audio™:
a few seconds a day is enough to absorb the lessons of these great literary treasures
freeing up our limited time on earth to spend on more important things...
like work, drinking, and our love life.
Our next work is a textbook.
The Outline of History by H.G. Wells was published in 1922.
This book offers us a history of human life on earth:
You didn't press the button. Go back!
Do you see how image and text become one with each other
a happy marriage of foreground and background
a graceful harmony of theme and function.
The illusion of surface is indistinguishable from the depths
where dark motives hide in the most superficial acts.
In this book, no one can be trusted
The lesson is to trust only yourself.
Wait a second (you're probably saying)
That's not my interpretation at all.
My reading is much kinder and gentler
and more forgiving of human morality.

Philosophiae Naturalis Principia, by Sir Isaac Newton, was published in 1687.
The book proposes the Laws of Motion and Universal Gravitation
There is no audio equivalent.
You didn't press the button. Go back!
Note how the Latin text is indistinguishable from English
and the mathematical equations a series of incomprehensible graphics
It is like a code that hides some Newtonian secret
the author is not telling us.
Maybe (he is saying) the laws of motion are NOT acted upon by outside forces.
Maybe the laws of gravity are to REPEL, not attract.
The miracle of this app is how it revitalizes reading for all ages
and gives younger generations easier access to historical documents.
Fast Forward™ brings new life to our dead languages.
Here's another famous American novel.

Published in 1850, this book goes to the dark heart of humanity
It's a much clearer book when viewed with Fast Forward™:
You didn't press the button. Go back!
There are no subtleties here.
The adultery is manifested
in the small, almost secret images that pollute the page.
Is there purity embedded in the white margins?
Is there innocence in the swiftness and blandness of words?

In this case, the Fast Forward™ app shows us the truth:
The Scarlet Letter is one of the most despicable novels of all time.
The last is The Complete Works of William Shakespeare
Published from 1590 to 1613
Shakespeare's plays and poems are among the most beloved works in the English Language.

Note how the words are virtually unreadable
to accentuate the impermeability
and hopelessness of language?
