Can there be any Shock Level 4 story that can truly be called the one with “happy ending” and without feeling of “wrongness”?
In other words, what part of the wrongness or creepiness of this story is owing to this particular story itself, apart from the fact that this is a SL4 story? (I suspect I am still not used to SL4)
Agreed.
The question I’m asking myself now is:
In other words, what part of the wrongness or creepiness of this story is owing to this particular story itself, apart from the fact that this is a SL4 story? (I suspect I am still not used to SL4)
I think a good deal of the creepiness comes from some combination the artificial determinism of the utopia, and the uncanny valley
What does uncanny valley refer to here?
Yes, what’s uncanny here?
