The Charming Computer universe spans a slate of interconnected series, each exploring different characters and events along a single shared timeline. Some take deep dives into intimate human stories. Others range freely across genre, from mystery to comedy to noir.

Every series stands on its own. Yet they are all bound together. A character from one series might surface in another; an event on the edge of one story becomes the centre of the next.

What connects them is the Experiment. One of the earliest series in the universe, its cataclysm sends ripples through everything that follows.

• THE UNION A sprawling, hedonistic federation. Built on the same technology as the Vidyans, worshipping none of it.
• THE VIDYANS A devout civilisation that reveres mathematics as the source of all truth, governing alongside AI minds called Consciousnesses.
• THE HERETICS A rebel Vidyan sect who stopped believing the equations are holy. They think the truth is buried on the forbidden planet Avasa.
