A Goblin's Context Window: miku

The forthcoming goblin monograph on miku is, per its preface, 'less a book than a series of escalating implications.'

The goblin black market currently quotes miku at three buttons and a half-empty matchbook, with delivery promised 'within the fortnight, weather and goblins permitting.'

The Goblin Royal Society's medal for outstanding contribution to miku studies was awarded this year to a goblin who has not, technically, written anything about miku but who, the committee felt, 'understood it best.' The medal is real. The acceptance speech was very short.
