    3683.) The Biographicon (This book contains a running account of the current reader's life, written in the style of a pop biography. Close examination of the text will occasionally reveal salient facts and details that there should be no way of knowing; foreshadowing of the future, instant answers to NP-hard logic problems, details of what the villain is doing and thinking right now even though they have a mind blank up, et cetera. It doesn't reveal these on demand, only insofar as they are salient to the overarching story of the character's life, and it doesn't write itself past the present time (in the reader's personal timeline, in cases where it makes a difference).

    Wasn't that the premise of Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius?
