The story about a post-apocalyptic universe,

where only a solar-powered 1980s arcade machine has survived 

and floats in deep space, is considered a very claustrophobic narrative poem 

or short story. The arcade machine becomes a kind of minimalistic brain for the souls of the dead humanity. 

Some say it is a dystopic science fiction story; others, it is a Time Rhyme.

According to Zustandsdichtung, Frank Fangelsi is a simple story. Any later full-filled predictions are, like in the case of Orwell's 1984, simple coincide. 

 

What is the inspiration for the Anmutungs-Joystick (Frank Fangelsi Poems) 

 

Modern neuro-science brought many hypotheses about a limited amount of subconscious implicit forces, such as basic emotions or implicit motivations, that control the decision-making and other functions of the brain. There are great scientists such as Norbert Bischof and Hans Georg Häusel, and others who suggest 3 - 4 primary motives and their significant influence. The Anmutungs-Joystick controls the game world by changing the design to be more suited for the thrive on winning (dominance), the seeking of new stimuli (curiosity) and security that the game world is the subconsciousness (implicit mind). In contrast, the game sprites and their gameplay represent the consciousness (explicit mind), influenced by the more prevalent implicit one. It is inspired by science but not accurate because it is a narrative poem.
