What's so great about aliens robots and monsters! Well, whether it's regressive childhood imaginings, or just plain old escapism, I still find them fascinating. I'll be taking a look at their intersection with pop culture — past and present — particularly in toys, art and movies. Would aliens come in peace, or for war? What mysteries might they unlock? Could robots become our friends and powerful defenders? As for monsters...
"Monsters force us to become stronger, smarter, better. They sift the
weak from the strong and provide a forge for the steeling of souls. Even
as we curse monsters, we admire them. Seek to become them, in some
ways."
