{{a|myth|{{image|mezztranches|png|''I Watched Mezzanine Tranches Glitter In The Dark'', {{vsr|2009}}}}}}The [[ | {{a|myth|{{image|mezztranches|png|''I Watched Mezzanine Tranches Glitter In The Dark'', {{vsr|2009}}}}}}''The Atlantis Variation'' is a [[finance fiction]] novella by [[Vega|alpha-crazed]] beat poet [[Hunter Barkley]]. | ||
Set in a fluctuating spacetime that [[waiver]]s crazily between the present, future and a queasy weekend in September 2008, it concerns the machinations of a [[Clavam Hominum Senum Pallidorum|secret society]] working to produce the [[2008 ISDA Master Agreement]], also known under its working title Project Atlantis Variation — hence the title of Barkley’s novel. | |||
This was to be an apocalyptic edition of the {{isdama}} that, according to the story, was ''almost'' completed in 2008, and was only prevented by the near total financial destruction of the planet in September of that year. It never saw the light of day, instead collapsing into a form of dark tedium that powers the universe. | |||
According to Barkley’s dystopian vision, the {{2008ma}} was to be short, plainly worded, future-proofed and agile. It would allow counterparties to agree robust trading terms with little fuss and only the cursory clerical management that could be [[legal service delivery|delivered]] through unskilled personnel in low-cost jurisdictions and, eventually, robots. It promised to be the long-lost missing use-case for [[distributed ledger technology]], and would be negotiated “[[Blockchain|on-chain]]” between arrays of dematerialised [[large language model]]s housed, for the sense of theatre, [[Proverbial school-leaver from Bucharest|in a single giant data centre in the outskirts of Bucharest]]. | According to Barkley’s dystopian vision, the {{2008ma}} was to be short, plainly worded, future-proofed and agile.
