Announcement:

Rest of the blogs that were not graded have been graded. If you did not receive a grade for a blog it might be in the wrong the wring category so, please check that.

The whole class we discussed the movie, Metropolis. We were going to discuss “The Rise of Science Fiction from Pulp Mags to Cyberpunk” by Jeff VenderMeer, but we ran out of time. If you have not read it yet please do so, because we are going to discuss it soon.

• (00:16:03) “Machines looking like a monster”
