The Windownesian

The Windownesian series features the adventures of the university student Jonathan Wills with his friends Meander, Athena, Zedekiah, as well as his roommates Alex the AI and Bobby the Alien. Each chapter centres around one topic, recording our characters experiencing it, and discussing it. "I still love my motherland and the sensible people living in it. But there're dark histories I'm ashamed of and selfish people I avoid." This is Chapter 10 centring national identity which foregrounds the conflicts Jonathan faces when interacting with people of his bloodline. "I'd rather be an incomplete human than a somewhat robot", the attitude of Jonathan on prosthetics. Chapter 11 is where after some hesitations, he replaces his broken left arm with a robotic one. Complications arise when he finds out his prosthetic limb can "Are [boars] more dangerous or are we more dangerous?" Chapter 12 centres around this controversial wild beast, and pits animal rights against human safety. This is a chapter where, Jonathan becomes something he didn't expect to be. "We think difference, differently!", perhaps the most iconic line of the series. But what does it mean? And how is it related to the series? Read the Writer's Commentary to find out.
