X-RAY ROBOT | Michael Allred

pick

A surreal, existentialist romp into the philosophical questions about our existence with a retro-futuristic paint job. A scientist supervises an experiment to prove the existence of multiple dimensions of reality. Successful beyond his hopes, a 277-year-old robot claiming to be himself, appears and takes him on a voyage of discovery, revealing the many possible lives he could have lived. Wildly imaginative, highly recommended!

Medea | Blandine Le Callet

pick

I think I've changed my mind about pursuing further Medea adaptations. While the original tale is enduring and memorable, it is also very dark. This version does its best to present flawed humanity more than supernatural/godly influences, but that presents even more starkly the limitations placed on Medea - while she has violent impulses, she also is at the mercy of any number of political machinations and the realities of being a woman 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? in ancient times. This retelling attempts to be a little more favourable to the protagonist in some of the framing/context for certain actions, but in the end Medea knows exactly what she's done and has to live with it. A play length exploration of this myth is mercifully brief, a 300 page graphic novel is about as long a time as I'd want to spend in this headspace. A full written novel would be too long. 8mo

Robotswithpersonality 3/3 I can definitely still see pursuing feminist scholarship analyzing the story though, the various ways to break it down, examine the choices and symbolism, could make for some fascinating non-fiction reading.

⚠️ableism, gore, nudity, murder, animal death, bigotry, misogyny 8mo

Star Wars: The Living Force | John Jackson Miller

repost for @BookwormAHN:

In January we read or are still waiting to read Tears of The Nameless. How did y'all like it?
For February we have The Living Force. It takes place shortly before The Phantom Menace and we are back with the Jedi from that era. This should be good.
As always if anyone wants to be added or removed just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always #StarWarsBuddyRead
