Death and the Cybernetic Mind A review of the novel The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

摘要

Alice Sebold's novel The Lovely Bones was published in 2002; and released in cinema adaptation in 2010. As a runaway success, doubtless many reviews and discussions would have taken place. This review is experimental: It seeks to consider this popular novel from a perspective about systemicity. My concern here is with the plausibility of transmission of cybernetic ideas and systemic knowledge in popular cultures through practical and symbolic means, rather than explicit conceptual discussion.
