An experimental Javascript-application, displaying the full text of Hermann Hesse’s famous book “Siddhartha”. The algorithm parses the content of the book and slices it to an array of sentences, for each sentence a generative layout gets displayed. The user navigates either through clicking the layout itself or the navigation at the bottom of the application-viewport, which represents the whole content of the book as a timeline.
