Episode 177: What it means to be Alive w/ Mark Russell and Jok for the Sci-Fi Anthology Vanishing Point


Listen Later

Welcome back to another Faqs Project Podcast as we take time to speak with Mark Russell and Jok to talk about the fantastic Sci-Fi Anthology Vanishing Point. Mark and Jok collaborated on Issue 4 properly titled Proof of Life where a sentient robot is put on trial for acting more alive than usual and it begs the question "What defines being Alive?" This particular series deals with many themes: Mental Isolation and Lonliness, Survival being beyond a human condition and a function for all species, Capitalism beyond your own bounderies, and dreaming your last wishes through the one thing you found comfort in-Your favorite cartoon TV series. I ask Mark and Jok how characters that are somewhat flawed be forced into choices that lead them to peril and within each of these stories how they've been able to treat Identity.
