Language is both a medium and a tool. Words allow us to share concepts and emotions, but language can also be used to exert power and "change minds." Set in present-day Europe, "Wordwarp" is a fictional adventure recounting a hidden war of words: secret projects in different countries using highly evolved forms of in-vitro intelligence to build codes into our languages and propagate particular mindsets. Tim Griffon, an American journalist and occasional rock musician, is living a lazy existence in Cologne, when suddenly he's caught up in ominous mind-bending neurological experiments, conflicting love affairs, and detours along the frontier of death. As the linguistic codes battle for people's minds, Griffon sees a way to resist his talents for nonsense and rampant rock.
