Hmmmmm...
Given the option? I'd love to add the infamous 'Voynich Manuscript' to the game, just for kicks. It really feels like it somehow fits?
Preferably though, rather than just the copied text? In the case of the Voynich Manuscript, I might add an object that is meant to be the "Original" book, *Itself*, as an unique artifact. Maybe, even make it an in~destructible artifact, and then, give it some peculiar benefit, or some unusual purpose (or even a destiny!), in the game?
Perhaps some kind of reward could be given, if you turned it over to proper Librarian~custody?
If anyone wanted to take it even a step or two further? ...Going along with the idea, of the Manuscript, being this "mysteriously in~destructible Artifact" (Within the World of the game, at~least!); then they could make findable/recoverable, the pages of the book that are apparently missing, IRL; and then, have the Manuscript be restore~able, in~game.
One, that our characters could eventually find (or produce, themselves, with the aid of some
kind of futuristic "Universal Translator" piece of lost (or, completely ALIEN to Earth) technology!
A couple of other "thematic" suggestions, that are definitely within the Public~Domain!:
Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein',
Sun~Tsu's 'The Art of War' (Trans. to English, first in 1905)
Charles Darwin's 'On The Origin of Species'
Franz Kafka's 'Metamorphosis' (English Trans. by Ian Johnson, is in the Public Domain)
Edgar Rice Burroughs' 'The Lost Continent' (Original Title: 'Beyond Thirty'), Published in 1916
Friedrich Nietszhe's 'Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book for All and None' (English Trans. by Thomas Common, is in the Public Domain)
Stanley G. Weinbaum's 'A Martian Odyssey', and 'Valley of Dreams' Both, published in 1934
Thanks so much for reading!
