This is my first time to read something by Alan Moore that is an adaptation on one of his many philosophical/thoughtful prose. It's not a fun read but a great short read while chillin' at the local library trying to get away from the humidity/heatwave this week. It's been a while since I've read works by Alan Moore, having to discover Watchmen, and his Wildstorm/Image Comics works 12 -13 years ago and reading him again since the first [b:The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1|297627|The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1|Alan Moore|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1327894724s/297627.jpg|797] series came out with this book was kinda lame at some point.
Still classic anti-establishment/magical-realism Moore with his usual weird prose makes it a good read. He and Grant Morrison to me are the weirdest but really good storytellers.

This is Moore at his hardest-to-read overeducated. He dissects the medium of television and humanity's unhealthy relationship with it. It's a masterful and not wholly unhelpful critique, but it's also bitter in a rather unfriendly way. As long as you can make peace with the fact that this is an intentionally hysterical screed, you'll enjoy the clever prose.
