in We3, it might be better not to have a face at all
We3 gets into that debate that has been popping up persistently throughout the semester: what does it mean to be human? Something that really caught my interest after reading We3 was just how much more relatable the We3 (is that … Continue reading → Continue reading
Roseanne’s Parrot
Page 19 struck me as one of the memorable scenes of WE3. Here, the first scene with Roseanne comes to a close as she’s getting ready to leave her home, trying to get her parrot, Charlie, to talk.

Page 72 of Morrison and Quietely’s graphic novel We3 portrays the moment when characters 1 and 2 kill the hunter and his dog for injuring 3.

However, it is the intricacies of the narrative that continually trouble me. Throughout my reading of […] Continue reading

Mahjong den vs. Gambling den
I don’t know why, but I feel really like Neuromancer is very at home in Japan. It could be that since modern day Japan is constantly on the forefront of technology (http://www.mobilemag.com/2011/08/04/japanese-robot-can-think-fetches-ice-for-your-drink/) and as the technology evolves into neuron splicing … Continue reading → Continue reading
