The "Once Party" menu, for ages 11 and up, can only be ordered once (of course). But there's a catch: not everyone who does gets the special prize. Those who do, go to a room where they can view five minutes of one of three moments in their future. Galvañ manages to create a vivid world that is both a recognizable and alien depiction of adolescence. There are mean girls, and fast food, and BFFs with crappy older brothers, as well as familiar hints of 1990s design and fashion. Yet, it's also rife with futuristic flourishes like little robotic eggs that walk and talk, like anthropomorphic Alexas. At its heart, however, Afternoon at McBurger's is a timeless story about friendship and innocence and the discoveries of adolescence (both good and bad), with layers to be revealed only through multiple readings. And Galvañ's visual style, anchored by a mastery of pastel and primary colors, will make you want to do so immediately. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The story is about a world where you can win a chance to time travel. One of the winners took an opportunity to meet themselves in the future, and moved the "intramolecular membrane" upon returning with both of their "essence." The world also contained "I-Me's" that are designed like an egg-shaped, walking Bonzi Buddy -- they make observations, talk, follow commands, and move around -- which the aforementioned winner described as inhibiting people's ability to think and being annoying. Oh, and one of the friends didn't win (Dani), but Dani and another one of her winning friends (Pepa) hugged when Pepa told Dani that she was still there in the future.
Tbh, the theme I got from the story is we share the same essence throughout life, we'll keep the friends who really love and understand us, and that technology is making us dumb. I agree with the last one but not anything else. I've gone through substantial relationship changes, and it wasn't because they ~didn't understand me enough.~ I don't believe in essence, plain and simple. I like to believe we're always adapting to our environment, and that our self is the product of our environment. There is no self that permanently exists because what the self is changes across time, place, and perspective. ( )
