Upgrade Soul Review: Upgrades and twins - SPOILER ALERT. In this fascinating, complex story, there is one detail most commentators seem to pass over or misunderstand: Lina’s disfigurement. Actually, the character Manuela explains Lina’s disfigured head to Henry on page 133: “[Lina’s] nineteen, and she’s not disabled. She’s the survivor of a parasitic craniopagus twin.” The hair-raising entry in Wikipedia is for “craniopagus parasiticus.” It appears that Lina’s twin was removed, which meant excising part of her head – hence the disfigurement. The twin, of course, did not survive. Now we may relate this to Lina’s odd conversations with her drawing of a perfect woman’s face that she’s taped to the wall—see page 135, for example. She calls the face Konstance, and it appears to talk to her. I think that “Konstance” is Lina’s reimagining of her lost twin. Or, given that this is a sci-fi story, perhaps a bit of Konstance remains as part of Lina’s brain or consciousness, and they really can converse in some sense. It’s another creepy plot element that speaks to real people and real needs, and such a cool nerdy detail to drop in! I wonder where Daniels got the idea. The Lina/Konstance duality echoes the Molly/Manuela and Hank/Henry dualities, and picks up on the theme that the new “other” is supposed to be perfect – as Lina imagines Konstance to be. But Manuela and Henry – physically real “others” – are not the perfection expected by Molly and Hank. Yet in loving Henry and attracting his love (even though her hopes are not borne out), Lina realizes that she no longer needs Konstance. So Lina destroys the drawing, making Konstance disappear— like Henry and Manuela disappear. We recall the myth of Prometheus, here. And all three imperfect humans – Molly, Hank, and Lina – end up sadder but wiser. Review: You're going to have to read it for yourself! - Take the weird half of X-Files, add the morality of Star Trek, and set it in a campus-turned-lo-fi-lab in the Pacific NorthWest. It's a challenging, emotional, sophisticated story with a horror & suspense plot points, amazing characters, and painstakingly-rendered artwork. And it's just a sci-fi clone story about your grandparents! It's a worthwhile trip to watch author Ezra Daniels transmute the everyday conversations and interactions that each of us have into huge, deeply personal and psychological themes with universal implications. This is his second, self-produced book. (First is "The Changers") And it's light years ahead of most of the indie stuff out there. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #458,294 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #570 in Literary Graphic Novels (Books) #1,195 in Mystery Graphic Novels #2,012 in Science Fiction Graphic Novels (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 189 Reviews | ## Images ![Upgrade Soul - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vsfTgE7NL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Upgrades and twins *by M***G on August 13, 2019* SPOILER ALERT.
