Uematsu's Blik-0 1946 e-book has robots, feelings
Blik-0 1946, an e-book penned by contributing musician to the Final Fantasy series Nobuo Uematsu, is now available to iPad owners for $10. Protagonist Blik-0 is designed by artificial intelligence scientist Dr. Mabuse to be capable of emulating the human heart and brain. As Blik-0 experiences life, it begins to struggle with anger, sadness and love. Sounds uplifting! Blik-0 1946 includes three songs composed by Uematsu that can be played while reading the story to supplement the experience. The e-book is illustrated by Hiroki Ogawa, director of Uematsu's recording studio, Dog Ear Records. Uematsu wrote the book to help readers "recognize the happiness you can find in everyday life, which you often ignore because they are too close to you, and the importance of kindness and respect to others." Blik-0 1946 will reach the iPhone "soon" according to publisher Acittl.
