Point of View: The Future is Now (And It Kinda Sucks)

by
flying cars - deposit photos

We all grow up in a world we think we know. Not just that, but we assume it’s always been like this. That’s natural – we have no other personal frame of reference, other than old TV shows and movies (and of course books) that offer us a two-dimensional look at life the way it used to be. But times change, and with them, almost everything we take for granted does too. When I was in high school, back in the early-to-mid eighties, World War II was in the way far distant past. So far back that films were in … Read more

But issues beyond those raised by their long-ago acrimonious divorce face Ruby and Gabe. Fence cutting. Rogue biobots destructively ranging beyond programmed parameters. Physical attacks. And the realization … Read more

Point of View: Now I “See” [Spoilers]

by
See

I just finished the final season of an amazing post-apocalyptic fantasy TV series called “See.” If you haven’t heard from it, it’s a high-concept tale that’s on Apple TV. The concept? A pandemic (yeah, I know) wiped out everyone’s ability to see. And a few hundred years later, the remaining population has learned to live without sight. Suddenly children are once again being born with the ability to see, but they are hunted and hounded as witches for the ability they were born with. I avoided watching this show for a long time because it looked a bit like “Conan … Read more
