Pawn 2 For Ashley

Dear Ashley, I think this is Caleb’s 2 or 3 time through. The first time would have been when he was diagnosed as an outlier. At the end of that he would have been given his friend Francis and they would go to war as buddies. The second would have...

Hi this is Zee-Jay emailing from China. I am not Chinese but I’m a westerner living and working here in China. Observing the faux human utopian society that is depicted outside of the park in westworld, sort of reminds me of living here in China for the past few years....
