Club Zero-G

Summary: Satisfies the Pineal Sweet Tooth
Review: Douglas Rushkoff has conjured up something visually worthwhile for the literacy challenged amongst our youth: an engaging and accessible story with a key to understanding/seeing the planetary controllers at large. Club Zero G is eye candy that actually satisfies the pineal sweet tooths lodged deep in our brains. It succeeds in avoiding the morbid and violent gratuitousness found in most action comix and drives home a most important point: that we can create our own dreams free of corporate monitoring and that we can actually live by these dreams. Rushkoff scrapes the bubble gum veneer off of Pop Culture with this one. If you are a parent, buy it for your teenaged son or daughter instead of an X-Box.

Summary: Words do not do justice...
Review: I am not sure how writing a review for a graphic novel could ever do it justice? Your best bet is to buy this, read it once, then again to make sure you really just read/saw what you did...then, like me...write a glowing review and buy one as a Bar Mitzvah gift (as I just did...).

Summary: LAIN???
Review: What I can guess reading the book description is that this book is a "copy" of an anime series called Serial Experiments Lain, that ironically is inspired in some of rushkoff's stuff... well, lain is not a copy of rushkoff's books, it only uses some of him ideas to create a different story, but this graphic novel is almost a lain copy... but i think we can take it as a mutual homage :)
