In a textbook the French Revolution is a list of dates and names. To the people living through it, it was a flood of breaking news, one day after another. Backdate rebuilds historical events in that second form, as a daily news app: the fall of the Bastille arrives as a breaking alert, figures of the era react in short posts, and the situation spreads across a live map as it unfolds. You are not reading history with the outcome already in hand; you are following it on edge about what comes next. That is why it stays with you longer.
