Planet Typewriter is home to twenty-six Alphabeticans, ten Numericans, and a bunch of Punctuations and Signs. This planet of peace, love and harmony, is complete with the Italics – an ‘Inking Hole’ famous for music, dance and good-natured lampooning. All inhabitants work for equal rights and pay at their word factory, the Underwood. For the Alphabeticans, the Typewriter God is the Poet, and for the Numericans, He is the Writer. One planet, two Gods.

Alphabetica’s Ypsilon (Consonant Y) can’t stop asking “Why?” she can’t have the article ‘an’, despite forming words without Vowels. She claims that the twenty-one Consonant Majority are descendants of the 3500-year-old Phoenicians. The five Vowel Minority are Greek intruders. When Y hears about Epsilon (Vowel E, the standup comedian) garnering an overwhelming share of words in the Lexicon, she becomes paranoid about the Vowels’ clout and her likely extinction. Soon, Y seeks divine intervention from a ‘Great Dictator’ who had ruthlessly eliminated the minority. Her ever-increasing hubris and hatred force the Vowels to seek asylum in Numerica – the land of the rival worshippers of the Writer. With the world of words silenced, the Poet abandons the Underwood. 

Will the Punctuations and Signs tilt the balance to prevent the war of wor(l)ds? Find the answers in Alphabetica, an allegorical satire that addresses the ever contemporary themes of fanaticism and intolerance
