From Ian Cheng’s book Emissaries Guide to Worlding. Very intriguing art book that I haven’t yet figured out how to read.

I got this via at the Serpentine marathon last year. Just cracking it open since I’m getting interested in world building. Yo is this supposed to be read in a particular way? (Also, thanks for my copy 🙂)

I remembered I had this book after this tweet soliciting portal examples blew up. Ian probably has a theory of portals in the book. I will look.

What physical embodiments of portals between worlds have been imagined in sci-fi/fantasy? My starter list: Rabbit hole (Alice) Subtle knife (dark materials) Wardrobe (Narnia) Phone booth (Doctor Who) Platform 9 3/4 (Potter) Wormhole with gate (Stargate)
