I thought it was really cute and funny. I love light-hearted sci-fi so this was a nice read. It was about some martians who were trying to watch a musical in New York, and they consult a sentient mushroom for directions, but they end up being a bit more lost than they were.<\/p>\n<p>There were really only four characters in this story, and they all were just having a conversation with each other. The network graph almost visually depicts this conversation. I&#8217;m not too sure what the limitations are, but if I were to pick &#8211; I would&#8217;ve wanted to highlighted the Mushroom node in a different color, or depicted as an image of a mushroom instead of nodes. It isn&#8217;t visually too interesting, but that may have just been because this set of data was so small (12 connections, four people all connected to each other).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3228\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/chart-214x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/chart-214x300.png 214w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/chart.png 224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3229\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/martianss-300x191.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/martianss-300x191.png 300w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/martianss-360x230.png 360w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/martianss.png 363w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.google.com\/fusiontables\/DataSource?docid=1q4UYQS2GvQZoMYxaHun8A3BkY0hTy_fER0XG3o29<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I read &#8220;The Martians Claim Canada&#8221;\u00a0by Margaret Atwood.
