in a seminal argument tha t you probably read a summary of in high school, albert camus discusses the "myth of sisyphus" about a greek mythology guy whose rolling boulders up hills, and he is assumed to be happy. to quote kurtis blow after the record scratch in 'christmas rapping' , 'that's played out.' intelligent qube updates the myth of sisyphus for the 21st century.

instead of a big boulder on a big hill, which conjures up images of cavemen, wile .e coyote and kronos eating his children, intelligent qube updates the myth with a modern twist. now it's cubes in a vast bleak 3d void, and instead of punishment by the gods, your punisher is state violence. when the faceless announcer guy says 'perfect' its the digital future version of your parents telling you they are proud of you, a key feature missing from camus's essay. the 3d cube is high tech for the playstation generation.
