Hey Rhys’ Pieces!
I wrote 40+ Ada & Locke comics in March/April and wanted to share them with you below. Or just binge them starting here.
Here is what folks have said about it thus far:
“Perfect for the XKCD / Sapiens crowd — highly online nerds interested in science.”
“Very high ratio of hmmm per seconds of reading.”
“Astounding ability to communicate complex & unimaginable ideas in simple terms & analogies.”
Also:
One Google friend prints it out and shows his coworkers
One reader replaced her daily lunch scrolling with daily comic reading. ❤️
All of the comics have links to contemporary research, sources, etc.
Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Continuing in Episode 2, Ada & Locke explore a philosophical world where every mind is represented by a monitor.

I’m curious what you think! Subscribe to Ada & Locke itself for more regular updates. Will be writing Season 2 soon.
Warmth,
Rhys ❤️
