The Sonatome Teller is a piece of speculative fiction created in the spring of 2021 by Xavier Corr, Bella Colosimo, and me. When the Sonatome Teller tells a story, you are transported to the uncertainly dystopian future: The Provinces of Yigdrasil, a self-sustaining ecosystem meant to shelter humanity from an inevitable nuclear fallout. Following a period of prolonged global warfare, various political and financial powers established contingency plans in order to ensure the survival of the human race. The Amazon funded World Tree was one such plan. Over time, the inhabitants of the World Tree went on to generate their own customs and culture, involving a division of 5 provinces, focused on maintaining various aspects of society.
Residents of each of the provinces used the Sonatome Teller to record stories of their everyday lives, or poems, or other art that was meaningful to them. They would record these stories onto Sonatomes.
To use the Sonatome Teller, lift the lid, pick up a Sonatome, and place it inside the lid. Close the lid, and then the audio encoded into the Sonatome will then play out of the Sonatome Teller.
