We are all going to become zombies in 2012. Well maybe not everyone will become a zombie. Actually, some of us will have to remain unchanged to fight the zombies.

Well said, Matt.

I wonder whether this piece is intended more as an odd poetic, concussive, confrontational piece of art rather than an attempt to actually engage in a rational or constructive argument?

The piece seems like a highly emotional response that shines a combination of language and history and technology through a prism and then projects it onto a wall - or website - and just waits to see what happens.... See More

Confrontational art piece is what I actually now think this is intended to be.

It's not enflaming imaginations. It's prompting comments. The bar for that is very, very low.

Fair comment, Bert.

Has the bar been higher in other years?

I am interested to follow this edition of Canada Reads as I have never really paid attention before.... See More

I am curious about some of the defenders, too. How will they rise to the occasion for their chosen books?
