Review of A Disturbance in the Force


Having read many theoretical articles on gender and technology, I kind of knew what was going to happen, but I think this is a story that everyone should hear. Technology, and video games in particular, are having very real impacts upon the way we perceive, construct, and project identity and gender and this piece illustrates that very nicely. The interviewee alludes to that fact in his statement about "reality and fiction." This means he has thought about this story in detail - he's a better interviewee because of it. Great piece, nice use of sound and music. Well done.
