Sorry, should have posted the link but I was on my phone and being lazy. UNSONG is a sci-fi-ish story by the blogger who writes Slate Star Codex, the premise is that Apollo 8 crashed into the crystal sphere separating the Earth from the heavens and thereafter everything runs on kabbalistic principles instead of physics. Tons of wordplay, including by an archangel who at times pretends that English words have consonantal roots.
