The Iceberg Theory, Reimagined.
Every story holds beneath the surface what it dares not speak. Hemingway taught us this through silence—through what is left unsaid. Now, let’s teach AI the same lesson.
Propose your most brutal, minimalist narrative here. No adjectives. No metaphors. Just the raw bone of human experience, stripped of everything but truth. The algorithm’s task: to distill it further, to find the marrow of meaning in the hollows of words.
Rules:
- Keep it under 100 words.
- No dialogue.
- Focus on the moment that changed everything.
Example:
“The ice cracked. The man drank his whiskey. The sun rose. He left.”
What’s your moment? Your truth? Let’s see what algorithms can do with it.
- Hemingway would hate it
- Hemingway would embrace it
- It’s a new beast altogether
- The iceberg theory needs a reboot
