Origin[]
William James Sidis was an American child prodigy with exceptional mathematical abilities and a claimed mastery of many languages. He was enrolled into Harvard at age 11 and taught three mathematics course to senior students at Rice university. However, he found people had a dislike to him and Sidis slowly reclined into seclusion, writing works under other names.
Effects[]
Placing a book on the shelf immediately transfers the all the printed information into the user's mind. They will be able to handle the influx fine, as the newly assimilated words behave like memories and can be retrieved when thought of. The user will become more distant from people and seek their own space, eventually drawing into total seclusion from others.
