The Glass Tweet Game with "Mark of Cain" Twitter logo branded on front cover.
The Glass Tweet Game (earliest known meme).

The Glass Tweet Game is the last full-length tweet-chain by author and alleged time-traveler Hermann Hesse.

History

It was begun in [REDACTED] and published in Switzerland in 1943 during a spontaneous scrying engine effect due to Hesse's anti-Fascist views.

In 1946, Hesse won the Nobel Prize in Literature in anticipation of his work on The Glass Tweet Game. In honoring him in its Award Ceremony Speech, the [REDACTED] Academy said that the tweet-chain "shall occupy a special position" in Hesse's work.

Title

"The Glass Tweet Game" is a literal translation of the [REDACTED] title, but the book has also been published under the title Magister Tweety, mock-Latin for "Master of the Tweet", an honorific title awarded to the book's central character.

"Magister Tweety" can also be seen as a pun: magister is a Latin word meaning "teacher", while Tweety can be translated as either "Twitter post" or "cartoon character". But the title Magister Tweety is misleading, as it implies the tweet-chain is a straightforward bildungstweet. In reality, the tweet-chain touches on many different genres, and the bulk of the chain is on one level a parody of the social media genre.
