Samenvatting:

In a near future where reality is managed by the mAL6 linguistic engine, words are being "optimized" out of existence to ensure social harmony. Josef, a data-entry clerk who has lost the vocabulary for his own heart, and Silvana, a woman who remembers the texture of forbidden metaphors, must navigate a world that is literally losing its meaning.

As the physical world begins to pixelate and the "semantic horizon" nears, they must find the "seed word"—the guttural, prehistoric sound that precedes all code. Part psychological thriller, part metafictional journey, The Semantic Apocalypse is a love letter to the messy, irrational, and beautiful language that makes us human.
