If a collection of essays produces such a reaction, what kind of reaction do you think they would have towards: http://www.joystiq.com/2007/08/09/soe-announces-ramayan-3392-a-d-mmo/ "Sony Online Entertainment has announced a collaboration with Virgin Comics intended to transform the Ramayan 3392. A.D. comic book series into an MMO, "initially" bound for the PC. Based on the Indian Ramayana story and set in a post-apocalyptic humans vs. demons world (obviously), the Deepak Chopra-developed comic franchise would seem to lend itself well to the genre without resorting to Western swords and sorcery shenanigans." What was the response to the comics? Is it related to the being taught in school part? Just curious. Casey -- Casey O'Donnell RPI STS Department - PhD Candidate http://homepage.mac.com/codonnell/
