A Techno Noir Protagonist & Balancing Politics & Entertainment in Fiction With James Krake & Nicky P
#ironage #indiecomics #writingcommunity
In this segment, James Krake details his cyberpunk series: Bastion, featuring Detective Blackstone, a character navigating a highly urbanized society with tech-noir elements. The series focuses on stories and crimes existing in the cracks of the system, examining how individuals intentionally subvert technology. The protagonist, Detective Blackstone, emerges as the one cop striving to do the right thing in a broken society.
With this type of setting and character it's hard not to touch on political themes within the series. James emphasizes that the narrative prioritizes entertainment. While addressing social-political aspects, the series aims to maintain an engaging and entertaining storytelling experience without leaning into controversial third-rail issues that pull readers out of the narrative.
The discussion concludes with a poignant exploration of the elephant in any room when discussing publishing. The challenge of reaching an audience in a reading-scarce environment. James Krake expresses frustration with the declining interest in reading and the prevalence of alternative forms of entertainment. The speakers both acknowledge the uphill battle of promoting books in a world where reading competes with platforms like TikTok and Netflix.
