Outdated colonial claptrap

I didn't particularly like this book even as a child, especially its overt racist storyline. Robinson Crusoe, an explorer and wanderer, at one point becomes a slave owner, aligning himself with other planters and undertaking a trip to Africa in order to bring back a shipload of slaves. At this point, he survives a storm and a shipwreck and ends up as the sole survivor. Because of the initial plot, I found it difficult to sympathise with his plight. They also speak of cannibalism, addressing others as "savages". It's a colonial tale that has become outdated.

Ingress: The Animation (2018)

Ingress (or Ingress: The Animation) is a 2018 Japanese anime television series based on Niantic's augmented reality mobile game of the same name. The story follows special police investigator Makoto, who has the power to read the memories of objects he touches. While investigating a laboratory explosion that was researching an unknown substance called "XM", he touches the ring of a woman who was the sole survivor of the explosion and sees a horrifying vision that embroils him in a massive conspiracy. @IMDb Movies & TV rates it 8/10, I do the same.
