Welcome to Litsy!

I've been reading a lot of graphic novels lately. Soft City was the most haunting - such striking and disturbing images. Talk about feeling like a cog in the machine.

Soft City has a familiar mid-century anxiety about consumerism and conformism but it also gets to the root of our desire for "softness" and safety. Here our desire to keep our minds away from violence directly results in the perpetuation of violence in the world. #comics #art

"Who controls the controller?"
A beautiful book and a powerful message. A bit unexpected of a graphic novel with almost zero dialog. Very reminiscent of Fritz Lang's film "Metropolis". A grim portrayal of a society that has been stripped of its humanity with the majority being soulless slaves of their own consumerism and an elite few. Yet a few manage to dream... The last page gave me bad chills.
