Welcome, @ObscurityofDCClub and other members of the DC Community! Welcome to Week 68 of Obscurity of DC’s Ultr-Obscure Book Club! This week, we’ll be focusing on…
HIGH LEVEL!!!
AGE SUGGESTION: 17+
Number of Issues: 5
Synopsis from dcuniverseinfinite.com: Hundreds of years after the world ended and human society was rebuilt from scratch, a self-interested smuggler is forced to traverse a new continent of danger and mystery to deliver a child messiah to High Level, a mythical city at the top of the world from which no one has ever returned. Don’t miss the start of a new series from writer Rob Sheridan, co-creator of Nine Inch Nails’ groundbreaking Year Zero alternate-reality game!
Now that that’s over with, here are some discussion questions:
- Would you describe Thirteen as a heroic protagonist or not? Explain.
- What makes the post-apocalyptic cyberpunk setting of High Level unique and stand out? Is there anything you like on how technology is used here?
- How does the journey with Minnow change Thirteen as a person in this series? Explain.
- What does exploration of different societies and use of a map tell us about how the setting is influenced by the High level in this series?
- High Level has allusions to “City upon a hill” (biblical belief of a place that would be a shining example of the world). Does this reference reflect well in the overall series? Explain.
