Tome of the Unknown Stranger

We broadcast from the hushed stacks of the Round the World Reference Library, where we climb a ladder to the top shelf of the Books of Fate division to study the hallowed Tome of the Unknown Stranger: narratives of brief encounters with complete and total strangers which have inordinate impact on future personal views of the world.
