A review by tinycl0ud
Robot Ghosts and Wired Dreams: Japanese Science Fiction from Origins to Anime by Takayuki Tatsumi, Christopher Bolton, Istvan Csicsery-Ronay Jr.
3.0
Chapters I particularly enjoyed:
3. Alien Spaces and Alien Bodies in Japanese Women’s Science Fiction (Kotani Mari)
A very interesting and v different take of the monstrous maternal than western literature/film.
6. When the Machines Stop: Fantasy, Reality, and Terminal Identity in Neon Genesis Evangelion and Serial Experiments: Lain (Susan J. Napier)
In-depth analysis of medium/style!
9. Sex and the Single Cyborg: Japanese Popular Culture Experiments in Subjectivity (Sharalyn Orbaugh)
This was so interesting!! A reading of NGE and GitS through a rigorous psychoanalytical framework IN CONTEXT.
