NEW MEDIA DEMANDS NEW LITERACIES
Set in the early years of the 21st century, Inanimate Alice tells the story of Alice and her imaginary digital friend Brad.
In episode one, Alice is living with her parents in a remote region of Northern China. Over the course of the remaining episodes, each a self-contained adventure, we see her develop into a talented animator and designer with the biggest games company in the world.
