What is Parallelogram?

Parallelogram is a fully-immersive world closely linked to the "real world" that exists solely inside an unpublished novel by Carrie O'Hara.

What can I do on Parallelogram?

One can achieve a wide range of objectives that approach but never reach all possible objectives one might wish to achieve. New users will struggle to achieve much of anything, but that is the true sign of a powerful tool. The closer one gets to approaching the limits of what Parallelogram offers, the deeper and more lasting the achievements one derives from its use can become.

How much does it cost to use Parallelogram?

No "real world" money comes into Parallelogram and no "real world" money comes out of Parallelogram.

I attended the concert depicted in chapter ten. What was the first song they played that night?

Lucky you! The first piece you heard was the Four Original Versions from Luigi Boccherini's "Withdrawal by Night in Madrid" superimposed and transcribed for orchestra by Luciano Berio. This is but one example of its realization. Others can be found.

What can I do if I've listened to the Shadow Contract podcast?

Does Parallelogram comply with applicable laws?

Parallelogram is entirely a work of fiction. What one does with "the gram" is one's own business.
