Great stuff, as always, from GM. I really liked the bit talking about The Matrix, where he draws the distinction between someone who's had the 'contact' experience and someone who hasn't, that's something I was thinking about just yesterday listening to the Donnie Darko commentary. There, and in The Matrix, there's this really clear implication that this is a completely fictional world, it's sci-fi and out there, and the concepts are just made up. In GM's work, or Promethea, it's basically the writers using science fiction to present their view of the universe, and there's this constant blending of fiction and reality, as he talks about when he says he was living The Invisibles.
That gives the work a meaning and importance that something purely fictional can never quite attain, and, even though Invis and Donnie Darko have a lot of crossover concepts, The Invisibles has much more real world baring. |
