Science, the Media and Society
_
To say anything
about the science element of the book would be to give the game away. So you’ll just have to read the book.
Essentially what interested me, at the time of writing Block, was real life and what was happening in the here and now in modern societies, particularly pockets of people who often go unheard and unseen and what our own concept is of hero or villain and power as a modern construct and peculiarly the trend towards user generated content in the media. That’s all I have to say about that right now. My blood pressure’s climbing and I’m resisting a strong urge to swear. You can tell I’m getting agitated about stuff when I abandon full stops and express myself in one long uninterruptible word vomit. Must. Stop. Now. Buy the bloody book and you’ll understand.
Block is not age specific, gender specific, colour specific or race specific. It deals with issues that cross all these barriers to affect us all. It’s not science fiction or fantasy. It’s social hyperrealism using superheroism as a device to get my point across.
