The Glass Bead Game

I have now been enrolled in the glass bead game.

Upon retrospection, I believe I may have been playing it all along these past years.

This came by post today:

The Glass Bead Game, by Herman Hesse, © 1943 [English translation © 1969].

Within the package, on the back cover, was a slim male pocket comb in a plastic wrap.

Bisecting pages 296 and 297 was a single business card with one single word: CAMOUFLAGE.

What does it all mean?

I don’t know!
