I have always felt that one of the nicest things a friend can do is give me book recommendations and reflect with me on how those recommendations went afterwards. Happily, there’s no reason a friend has to be real to do it. Some books refer to one other book, or two—but books about bibliophiles are […]

The world of the cyborgs has always belonged to the disabled, those of us who walk, roll, crutch, and dance our way along the line between man and machine. While Donna Hathaway, in her seminal essay “A Cyborg Manifesto,” defined cyborgs as an intensely feminist concept, transcending mundane, mid-20th-century concepts of gender (and interestingly, of […]
Content Note: Racism Seven of Nine is a third-culture kid. Those of us who leave one country for another at an early age recognize the beats: You’re one person, a whole, unconflicted person with a whole, unconflicted family that belongs—until being literally assimilated as a child. You learn to adjust, but eventually—perhaps as a […]
Truly, this world is blessed with riches, because it now has two different cinematic versions of the Dune universe: The 1984 version, directed by David Lynch, and the version from director Denis Villeneuve, which is comprised of two films, 2021’s Dune Part One and the rather expectedly named Dune Part 2, which came out this year, forty […]

I’ve spent the majority of my career working in television because that’s where my heart lies. I want to work on things that actually get made. And I […]

There are a great many emotionally poignant moments in Evangelion 3.0+1.01: Thrice Upon A Time that stopped me in my tracks, that immediately compelled me at the computer where I watched it to pause or even take the moment back and let it bombard my senses. It’s Evangelion, so that’s expected—it’s as spiritually arresting as […]
As I was watching Godzilla Minus One, the (terrific) new Japanese reboot and recontextualization of the Godzilla origin story, I found myself thinking of another Godzilla entirely. Not the one in the 1954 original film, or the versions from the many, many films over the years, including the most recent 2014 US version of the monster. […]
I can still hear it: the wall of sound in my headphones, the cacophony of competing sound effects, some like the double pam-pam of exploding bombs, some the more occult whizzes and crackles of spell-casting. The press of bodies on my screen has become an indistinguishable mass clustered around a blank flag inside a castle. […]
