After beating cancer, Kurt Chiang decided to do something extraordinary: transcribe, by hand, the entirety of William Golding's 1954 novel "The Lord of the Flies." As you might have guessed, this is not your usual Oprahsprational disease survival story. Instead, it's a classic Neo-Futurist Existential thought experiment, an experiment that asks why a particular piece of art exists. "Analog" is not for everybody (some critics loved it, while it left others cold), but if its an experiment you want to run on yourself don't wait: the show closes this weekend.
