        "content": "Here are a few examples of fiction (novels, novellas, or short collection stories) in which the primary medium of dialogue is text messaging / instant messaging / chat-style formats, especially things like WhatsApp, IM, Slack, etc. I also include information on whether they\u2019re available in audio form (audiobook) or not, so you can pick what works for your listening preference.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83c\udfaf Examples\n\n| Title | Author | Format of Messaging / Tool Used | Available as Audiobook? |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| *Internet Girls* series (especially *ttyl*) | Lauren Myracle | Entirely through instant messaging conversations between the characters. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_contemporary_epistolary_novels?utm_source=openai)) | **Yes** \u2014 *ttyl: (Internet Girls #1)* is available as an audiobook. ([onlinebookclub.org](https://onlinebookclub.org/shelves/book.php?id=17871&utm_source=openai)) |\n| *Several People Are Typing* | Calvin Kasulke | Told entirely through Slack messages among co-workers, as the protagonist gets \u201cuploaded\u201d into the company\u2019s Slack channels. ([newyorker.com](https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/reading-a-novel-set-entirely-in-slack?utm_source=openai)) | **Yes** \u2014 Unabridged audiobook version, with a full cast of narrators. ([audible.com](https://www.audible.com/pd/Several-People-Are-Typing-Audiobook/152935837X?utm_source=openai)) |\n| *Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke* | Eric LaRocca | Epistolary novella mostly made up of internet chat, emails, IM-style conversations. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/horrorlit/comments/skwbho?utm_source=openai)) | **Yes** \u2014 There's an audiobook version. ([audible.com](https://www.audible.com/pd/Things-Have-Gotten-Worse-Since-We-Last-Spoke-Audiobook/B098TXPR89?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n## \u2699\ufe0f Extras & Notes\n\n- The *Internet Girls* series by Lauren Myracle (books like *ttyl*, *ttfn*, *l8r, g8r*, etc.) are especially representative. *ttyl* was one of the first YA novels written entirely in an instant messaging format. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_contemporary_epistolary_novels?utm_source=openai))  \n- *Several People Are Typing* leans into workplace messaging (Slack) rather than \u201cfriends texting,\u201d but it\u2019s a strong example of non-traditional dialogue tools carrying the whole story. ([newyorker.com](https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/reading-a-novel-set-entirely-in-slack?utm_source=openai))  \n- *Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke* is darker, horror/suspense, and works as a novella; it uses text\u2010Chats + email threads as its main storytelling device. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/horrorlit/comments/skwbho?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me your genre interests (e.g. romance, horror, sci-fi, YA) and whether you prefer full-length novels or short stories, I can find more suggestions that suit *your* taste!"
