Channel Zero

Wanted to share a post about this wonderful graphic novel I just read entitled Channel Zero by Brian Wood. This exquisite piece of literature had me hooked from page one. Short description; in the not too distant future, the government has taken control of all media and media making devices. A resistance has taken root most notably by a guerrilla hacker, Jennie 2.5. Through the acquisition of illegal devices such as computers and video cameras our hero gets her message heard. Set in a stark noir like New York where freedom of speech has basically been replaced by "The Clean Act", a law that ensures the government's far right Christian values are always upheld by the media. This book is to be experienced not simply read and shelved, one is forced to think about the scary social commentary that lives in these pages, which are ingeniously crafted by Wood, who has developed this in it's entirety. Complete with pages asking you to make copies and stickers from, emblazoned with anti-propaganda propaganda encouraging any and all to take back their voice and be heard. This is another must read by a true master of his craft. Check out this and other Brian Wood books here: http://www.brianwood.com/
