Channel Z

By Douglas J. Iverson

In Channel Z, Zane is a young man locked within the silent world of autism. He communicates via a Stim-pad, an electronic device with eye control to make basic requests, but there is so much more that those near him would like to know. What if computers and technology were improved to the level where someone with autism could communicate within a virtual world? Zane is given the opportunity to express himself within Channel Z, a virtual world created by the Bio-computing lab at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. Using a gamma wave frequency, the neural connections within his brain are enhanced. Zane's travels into Channel Z are revealing. Enhanced physical abilities? Schizophrenia? Is Zane a mystic? The story of CHANNEL Z offers insight into the life of a young man with autism, how he perceives the world and how he lives within its confinements. It offers validity in the potential of a human being who cannot communicate, and that there is a gift within every one of us.
