From a mechanistic point of view, I thought that Talk to the City could be used not only for visualizing “the opinions of many people” but also for visualizing “the contents of books,” so I gave it a try.
Useful?
- Personally, I don’t think so.
- Books convey meaning not just in the fragments themselves, but in their arrangement as well.
- While it contributes to a “rough idea of what is being said,” the book has a “table of contents” maintained by a human being, so it is not a “table of contents.
Discord I just tried ‘Talk to the City’ using the manuscript of the Plurality book as input data. https://nishio.github.io/tttc_plurality/

I’m very happy to spread my thought to non-Japanese readers.
