The Imploding Dictionary is a comprehensive reference book that shrinks down entire definitions upon being opened. Pages rapidly contract into compact orbs, allowing users to store multiple entries within a single pocket-sized volume. Definitions may only be accessed by deliberately expanding the orb back up to page size – after which time, contents will reimplode unless manually saved. When used extensively over prolonged periods, dictionary pages have been known to develop emotional bonds with their owners, occasionally releasing effusive praise during quiet hours.
