05 | 18 – Frank’s Social Media Remix
The book heavily relies on point-of-view and telling a story from perspectives based on letters. How might this look different considering the availability of Social Media today? Seriously, how would this story be received in real-time as people post from their perspectives about this on Twitter?
If you were following someone and they started posting about their experiences the way Walton writes to his sister it could spread like wildfire. Before you say that it’s too unrealistic, remember, there are thousands of people who believe that Lizard People are controlling the Deep State and coordinating global terrorism, or that wildfires in California are caused by giant space lasers…is this really any less realistic than a scientist reanimating a living creature?
Really consider how this news might travel and what the consequences of that might be.
