Barclay's Inverted Insight


"I heard a voice earlier," you say. "It was a greeting, I assume from the builder? It said something about the Inverted Office. Do you know where that is?"

Barclay laughed. "I do, but it sounds like a riddle to me. I'm not supposed to spoil it, but I'm allowed to help you get started on it. Inversion is a tricky idea. The inverse of water might be fire if you're talking about a pile of sticks, but it might be air to someone learning to swim. The point is, there's multiple opposites to everything, and that includes offices."

"What's the function of an office?" he continued. "It's a place to organize your work, a place to do your business tasks, and a place that is closed off from unwelcome distractions. What's the inverse of that? An unorganized, open space for leisure? Find somewhere like that. Or maybe just an upside down, regular office."
