Why these floors —

E9 · E10 · E12 · E11

E14 places every story on a stack of fifteen floors, from the fields under everything to the planet acting as one. This one sits on E9, cultures; the pressure it names: press freedom. Its words also reach E10 institutions, E12 states and E11 organizations.

Here it is a dynamic between cultures, institutions and states: civil society groups (E9 cultures), with fuel subsidies, economic reform and prices (E10 institutions), and parliament (E12 states).
