Doktor Sleepless: Difference between revisions

* [[Tome of Eldritch Lore]]: ''[http://www.doktorsleepless.com/index.php/The_Darkening_Sky The Darkening Sky]'', by Henrik Boemer, was a short-run paperback that conflated fatalist philosophy, H.P. Lovecraft's Elder Gods, and a cyclical vision of history. When John's parents disappeared, ''The Darkening Sky'' was the only book out of the hundreds in their mansion's library that was at all disturbed, and John went on to read that copy of the book to pieces over the following years. One of the first things John Reinhardt does upon returning to Heavenside is print and distribute a new run of the book, which flies off of the shelves due to the Doktor's newfound popularity, and people who've read it immediately start acting just a little bit more creepy...

* [[Villain Protagonist]]: The only major characters in the series who aren't murderous or deranged are Sing and Sarah.

* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: Before he left, Reinhardt invented a number of things that are now in widespread use throughout Heavenside, like Clatter (an instant messenger system that's built into a soft contact lens), "tags" (a small injectable microchip that collects and stores medical data), and most of the "grinder" subculture. There's an entire feature of the city, H-Plates, that only he knows how to use. John Reinhardt ''built their entire culture'', then went away for a few years and came back so he could more efficiently turn it against itself.
