The Mobilneur Labyrinth

We are a species capable of losing its way even in something it invented itself.

The first and last letters—Alpha and Omega—are a biblical symbol of dominion over beginning and end. But this is a divine attribute, inaccessible to us. Around us swirls an elemental mass of letters that complicate everything: wild, disobedient.
