For Thursday, read the following two stories from our anthology:
* Walton, Sleeper (pp.124-133)
* Boyle, The Relive Box (pp.297-313)
There are no questions for these stories, though I will make you write about them in class on Thursday (so be sure to read both!). Something to think about is this line from "Sleeper": "We make our own history, both past and future" (133). If this is so, what might the danger be of trying to record or re-experience the past? Is there one past? And if we make the past able to be seen by everyone, will it be our past they see? Are there as many pasts as there are futures? Hmm...
Be sure to start thinking about Paper #3 (posted two posts down!). See you on Thursday.
