I'm fully understanding that a fictional audience that has to earn its keep in popcorn sales is not a didactic work. I'm just saying that left me an opening, in which to insert my more thorough and demystifying treatment of what that kid in the movie would have needed to learn. There's a scene where he gets hired as the geometry tutor for the kid his own age with the heart transplant and cool sister. The supposition is he's all up on that stuff because he lives in a dome and his Nana is a Bucky nut. That's fine as a plot element, but in my version we're making what he teaches his teen peer far more subversive of the status quo than what's in that Euclid book. Anyway, the punk tie-in (they form a band) is perfect as punk let to cyber punk and kids knowing RSA (seemed pretty futuristic at the time, what with that starting out as all secret and all). I've got that component. Number Theory is making a come back, even as Linear Algebra is enjoying a renaissance (machine learning). We look at all that in our School of Tomorrow. :-D (emoji too, not just emoticons) 👸 ♔ 🐼 Kirby
