‘A woman known as Laura is trying to complete the design of a computer game about the Battle of Okinawa left unfinished by her lover, who has died in mysterious circumstances. She speaks constantly to the dead man, communing with him through the computer they shared and her efforts to fathom the game programme. Laura's research into Okinawa's history - much of it conducted on-line through Optional World Link (OWL), a science-fiction alter ego of the World Wide Web - forces her to confront the devastating consequences of the battle for the island's civilian population.’ Catherine Lupton, Chris Marker: memories of the future (London: Reaktion, 2005), p.232.
