Zver's unreadable encyclopedia has plants that grow into chairs

The Short explores Luigi Serafini's imaginary world, where the writing recreates a childhood experience rather than concealing a message.

No One Can Read This Book

Plants grow into chairs. Strange fruits and impossible creatures fill the pages of Codex Seraphinianus, the illustrated encyclopedia at the center of Zver's Short, "No One Can Read This Book."

Posted five days ago, the video has added about 335,000 views in a day, bringing it close to half a million. Its daily audience has grown to more than sixteen times its usual pace.

The book offers a more interesting answer to the title's mystery than a difficult cipher. Italian artist Luigi Serafini hand-drew this imaginary world in the late 1970s, giving its pages the orderly appearance of an encyclopedia, complete with elaborate, unreadable writing.

As Zver's narrator explains, Serafini said in 2009 that the text contains no secret code or literal meaning. The point was to recreate the experience of looking at a book as a child before learning to read: recognizing that the marks look like language without being able to understand them.

That shifts the question from decoding the book to exploring it. In the comments, viewers discuss its possibilities as inspiration for fictional worlds, compare it with the Voynich manuscript and imagine the confusion it might cause future researchers. Zver's subject looks like a reference book, but it doesn't offer the reassurance of an answer key.
