Hello World 5000 can be called a “children’s story,” if you’re a child, that is, who’s either secretly or noticeably intelligent, slightly on the sad side, possessing a fine vocabulary, and who has perhaps even grown embarrassingly tall and has a job.
The story begins with a boy named Royal. Royal was named after a typewriter and raised by “The Master,” Eduardo Aquifer XXVII, the last in a 500 year old line of unpublished authors who runs St. Millar’s Writing Academy for Illiterate Orphans, and where Royal and Olympia, the two main protagonists grow up together.
