内容説明
The Adolescent Demo Division are the world's luckiest teen gamers. Raised from birth to test media, appear on reality TV and enjoy the fruits of corporate culture, the squad develop special abilities that make them the envy of the world--and a grave concern to their keepers.
One by one, they "graduate" to new levels that are not what they seem. But their heightened abilities can only take them so far as the ultimate search for their birth families leads to an inconceivably harrowing discovery.
Written by Douglas Rushkoff, world-renowned media theorist, Frontline TV correspondent and author (Ecstasy Club, Media Virus and Program or Be Programmed, TESTAMENT), with full color art by Goran Sudzuka and Jose Marzan Jr. (Y: THE LAST MAN).

Mutant Video Gamers in Trouble!
2012/5/11
形式:ハードカバー
This ambitious graphic novel depicts a world where a special brand of teenagers are pampered and feted to do one thing: play video games. They appear on a popular reality show and get to test the latest technology. They are a tightly controlled group whose every move is monitored by Next Gen Inc. Sheltered from the real world, they are the superstar guinea pigs of media conglomerates and the idols of other kids.
Yet nothing is quite what it seems. When Lionel, one of the teen gamers, witnesses a death he thinks is real, he begins to question everything he knows. With fellow gamers Takei and Kasinda, Lionel embarks on a journey to find the truth about the A.D.D.
"A.D.D." is a slick production with beautiful artwork and coloring, yet the overall effect is somewhat lacking. The ending feels rushed, as if some pages of the story were mistakenly edited out during production. Somehow, I feel the author has much more to say but didn't have the space to expand his complex ideas. It's a pity, because a lot of effort went into the creation of the world that has its own unique slang and technology.
It is almost certain that "A.D.D." will be popular among hardcore gamers and readers who can't get enough of works reminiscent of "Ender's Game." Personally, I am now more interested in reading the author's theories on autism and mass media than any possible sequels.

Nice try but doesn't satisfy

形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
I liked the concept idea for the book. The drawings were okay, but the story just didn't make sense. I am over 60, so I asked some of my college students to read it and tell me what they thought, and their reviews were similar.
