I believe there is a distinctive style of approach in that
you see a different point of view of the genre in the main plot point that
focus on the character Snowman also known as Jimmy back when he was a child, his
point of view and how his experience of childhood is used in the genre, science
fiction in the novel that may had led Snowman being stranded and isolated and
that he is reminded of his old childhood life when he was ignorant and kept in
the dark contain the theme science fiction as a background. It reminds me of another
book the hatchet of another male survivor who also is stranded on an island
almost alone and it focuses on his experience. So in the novel the science
fiction is the cause of a dangerous experimenting and we are focus on the
aftermath of the world that surround itself with a very hostile and corrupted civilization
that has taken too far in manipulating genetics of animals; specifically “pigoons”
with the replications of organs and other cloning of meats and other food
product that may cause his world to be target by outside of his home, the
compound. The main character and his very disconnected life with everyone he
loved.
Experimenting on humans to obtain flawless young skin seem
excessive and goes against nature and the order of life. Growing a pig brain
there has got to be consequence that the father should be aware of. The parents
are in their own world neglecting their son who is aware of their emotional
stress. Morality is a huge theme between Snowman’s father and mother tearing
apart the family. It seems to be a build up of tension in what Snowman’s father
is doing that could go wrong while Snowman relives his childhood unaware of
this and its affects on his life.
There seem to be hints of our modern day society is very
outdated and that the games that kids can play are very violent and very similar
on dictatorship or conquering lands reverting back to the more primitive ways
of mankind that may represent the mindset of the people in the future that is
only a little ahead of our time. As if the act with manipulating society is a
theme the sense of dominance and control over mankind. Snowman as a child
represents the ignorance and naiveté of human society when there is a serious
problems created because of the consumerism and capitalism.
In the movie “Existenz” 1999, the world has high tech that seems
very bizarre almost alien like that gaming is the theme of the world with
organic body technology that seems to be made of a flesh and life. Used the
vertical reality as a base or background. The used of human umbilical cord like
a high intelligence and color flesh seems to make it feel like it is a part of
us like a “new life” that humans created that isn’t a baby. Alternate world to
escape reality creates conflicts in the real world and is
consider evil. It seems like a parasite that causes hallucination from a
negative point of view. That machine and flesh can create these parasite pods
might indicate how humans could go further with this type of technology that
could fuse with your body. Almost like a parasite bonding with human mind. Like
“Neon Evangelion” anime that humans used real like alien beast as the
foundation of the giant robotic suit that the humans used to battle monsters of
similar sizes that the alien and human become one in mind and body forming a
somewhat an intimate yet disturbing relationship.
