The transition of the protagonist in #EEAAO from a passive observer to an active participant in her multiverse mirrors our own shift in the digital media landscape, from consumers to creators #bcm325
#bcm325 the verse hopping technology demonstrates McLuhan’s concept of the extension of man. The verse hopping technology is less a tool for becoming something new and more an expression of discovering new parts of ourselves
