An experimental book design project of the novel “Kallocain” by Karin Boye. What happens when the story conducts the design?
Originally published in 1940, “Kallocain” is the name of a drug invented to deny the privacy of thought — the final step towards the transmutation of the individual human being into a “happy, healthy cell in the state organism”. The novel starts out in a classic design, but as the usage of the drug is introduced into the story, so the “truth” comes out: both in story and design.
