Cyber-Zen Fridays 11.13.20

Our dystopian life now… Which high tech, low life story will we write today?

Remember this Sunday we return to our Character Studies Series in Cyberpunk and we take on Alita: Battle Angel. In exploring the world around her, Alita slowly develops an understanding of who she “was,” what the world expects of her now, and who she decides to be. Alita, the character, symbolically stands for identity itself and the conflict that it creates within our lives.

For those of us always looking to cyberize ourselves and self-determine our worlds, not to mention determine our own identity as well, the portrait of Alita found in Alita: Battle Angel (2019) (#CommissionsEarned) offers a unique opportunity for analysis and self-reflection as we digitize our worlds.

We thank you for joining our CyberZen Fridays, and hope you come back soon for more great content! To discover more pure inspiration and entertainment to keep us passionate about our tech lives, check out our Cyber-Play page.
