Forget This Good Thing is an attempt – by turns playful and deadly serious – to harness a fundamental force of the universe to turn the world’s 6.6 billion smartphones into real-time oracles.

This original work by Matthew Dublin (software design and execution) and Colin Dodds (words) uses random-number-generating technology to harness the idiosyncrasies of synchronicity and create a wholly unique experience for each reader, each time you open it.

Sometimes we all need to be interrupted, and some answers can only come from outside.

This is why people seek out oracles – human ones like the Sibyl of Delphi and other forms like the I-Ching or the Magic 8-Ball. As the latest in a long line of oracles, Forget This Good Thing promises the same thing: To tell you something you need to hear, before you know you need to hear it.

Personal preferences, habits and opinions can sometimes feel like tightening nets. Forget This Good Thing is a tool that can interfere with the imprisoning tendencies of your mind, and of the larger mind we operate within.
