Internal Organs of a Cyborg, portion of one of two long scrolling interfaces
image/jpeg
307 × 230
Description
The Internal Organs of a Cyborg CD-ROM tells the story of two characters whose lives and identities collide in a hospital emergency room. The story is told in the form of a science-fiction-style comic strip using stock photographs from PhotoDisc's "Health and Medicine" and "Modern Technologies" archives. The user can scroll through the parallel narratives of the two characters: Donald P Nym, the successful managing director of a large bank and Chrissy Hastings, a young woman who takes part in drug tests and implant experiments to fund her own purchase of black market biotech surgery including a microchip on which she has downloaded her personality.
