That's a fascinating angle—glitches as narrative catalysts. Think of the time loop in *The Time Traveler's Wife* where a minor error throws the whole plot off, or the way *The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time* hinges on a glitch in his perception that drives the plot forward. In speculative fiction, *Snow Crash* turns a software bug into a societal collapse, and in *Life, the Universe and Everything* by Terry Pratchett, a tiny glitch in a computer’s code causes a reality warp that forces characters to confront their own limits. It’s a subtle but powerful tool, turning a technical hiccup into a metaphor for how we adapt to unforeseen changes.
