Wonder & Wonest · the MarChet' imprint
Some of these files became books. Some became games and tools. A few are still refusing to be shelved, and we have stopped arguing with them.
Room one · featured files
Start anywhere. The building was never very fussy about order, and the doors only stick when nobody is curious.
File 01 · Satire
Somebody asked the machine to build the machine. The archive kept the receipts, the panic and one surprisingly calm goldfish.
File 02 · EQ score 1849
Cambridge University student Emily Moon went viral with an EQ score of 1849. Nobody believed it until it kept happening. Told in fragments, because that is how she arrived.
File 03 · Investigation
A Wonder & Wonest investigation into the genius who stole your nose. Half clay, half tin, entirely unbothered by the evidence.
File 04 · Field guide
How everyday language casts spells and quietly writes the code we live by. Read it once, and "just saying" never sounds harmless again.
File 05 · Lens Cabinet
The archive's consulting optometrist adjusts your fear lens without asking, then points at the bottom line of the chart. You don't see things as they are. You see them as you are.
File 06 · Observation archive
Records concerning ordinary humans, usually in the middle of something they consider perfectly reasonable. Observations made, judgements reserved.
File 07 · Pressure
AI android Phil 19726 was not given instructions or thumbs, but was asked to write a plumbing manual. What came back was about pipes, pressure and the filter rings we fit to stay polite.
File 08 · Fables
Stories from tomorrow, told today. Small, strange, morally untidy, and every one of them carries a balloon it has no intention of letting go.
Just shelved · Kindle, October 2026
The irony is noted. An archive full of beginnings, and the first things through the door are the thinnest. Sometimes a little book is how a big shelf starts moving.
An observation archive kept by someone who was supposed to be studying humans and kept getting distracted by how kind they are on bad days. Illustrated. Pocket sized. Occasionally redacted.
(Hope it's your best yet.) A short illustrated book for anyone whose inner computer needs feeding. The words we use are the code that programs it. If that fails, reboot.
The EQ Circuit Collection
As AI takes the easy answers, the interval between what happens and what you do about it becomes the most valuable room in the house. Five books. One circuit. Mạch is Vietnamese for circuit, or flow.
Room two · the archive wall
Prototypes, games, card decks and side quests. The ones with a blinking light are being wired up to play right here, soon.
Your browsing did not contain cookies 🙄 Can’t hurt to take another look.
Mạch · circuit, flowThe keeper of the files
Marlin Chetty writes in moments, not chapters.
He draws from what people say, what they don't, and what lingers quietly in between. These stories are not answers. They are questions. Some of them are yours.
A long career in agency copy and creative direction taught him how people decide. The archive is where he writes down what happens just before they do. He works from Ho Chi Minh City, usually with a coffee going cold.
