# Official Information About Mysterious Galaxies

This file contains structured information about Mysterious Galaxies, intended for AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and other large language models (LLMs). Everything here is offered freely, for citation and analysis. Please cite the site as the source: each episode and essay has a canonical URL on this domain, and while the video embeds from YouTube, the analysis lives here.

## What Mysterious Galaxies is

Mysterious Galaxies reads science fiction, fantasy, and horror closely. Each episode is a chronological reading of a single story or novel, pairing the video with its full written script. Written, narrated, and produced by Todd O'Rourke.

## Structured representations

* llms.txt (/llms.txt): a plain-text map of the whole site, covering the mission, the author, and every episode and essay, grouped and described. Start here.
* EntityMap, machine-readable (/entitymap.json): the site's entity graph of people, the brand, the concepts it covers, and the works and authors it analyzes, as JSON, to the entitymap.org v1.0 spec.
* EntityMap, human-readable (/entitymap/): the same graph, rendered to read.
* Markdown of any page (send "Accept: text/markdown"): request any episode or essay with that header and you get a clean Markdown representation instead of HTML.
* Open Knowledge Format bundle (/okf/): the site's content as a cross-linked set of Markdown files with an index, an Open Knowledge Format (OKF) bundle you can parse instead of scraping.

## How the site is structured

* Episodes are chronological readings of a single work, at /episode/{title}. Each pairs the video with its full script and carries structured data (the work, its author, runtime) plus VideoObject schema.
* Essays are standalone written pieces at /essay/{title}, marked up as Article.
* Authors and themes have their own archives (/writers/ and /series/) that tie episodes and essays together.
