I’m a big fan of anime and other things. In fact, I wrote a Master’s thesis at York University on anime, fan culture, and cyborg theory. I’ve also written about it elsewhere:
- The Cowboy Bebop re-watch series on Tor.com
- A post on what anime can teach you about ending a story on io9.com
- A contribution to a list of underrated anime at SF Signal
- A contribution to a list of the top 14 anime of all time at SF Signal
- A review of Neon Genesis Evangelion: You Are (Not) Alone, Epic Fail: Still Dreary, after All These Years in Mechademia 5
- A chapter from my thesis: “Ownership, Authority, and the Body: Does Anti-Fanfic Sentiment Reflect Posthuman Anxiety?” Transformative Works & Cultures, Issue 1
- Heim Movies: The Return of the Cyborg Double in the Ring Franchise” Asian Cinema Volume 19, No. 2 Fall/Winter 2008
- My work for Frames Per Second Magazine
- An interview with Nancy Baym at Online Fandom

/ December 27, 2012Hi Madeline
I am reading vN and really liking it enormously – I should explain: I come from a rather different generation and have been reading SF for 50+ years (Shock,horror – old)
However , I should also point out that the reason I am reading at all at present is because I am on holidays from Limerick School of Art & Design where I am a 1st year student soon to have to make up my mind about painting or printmaking.
May I come back to you when I have finished the book to talk more?

ps -just finished ‘Blue Remembered Earth’ by Alastair Reynolds( have read all by him)
