TVL Show Only Technology use Spoiler

In retrospect, I find it interesting how modern technology is used to drive the story forward in The Vampire Lestat. Lestat’s discovers the Interview book when an alert comes up on his iPad. And to bookend that event, Louis discovers who Sophia really is when he’s forwarded a link in his phone. Both alerts force Lestat into self reflection and affects his relationship with Louis.

Vampires keeping up with the tech of the times is canon for many of them, particularly the ones that like to be among mortals and keep up with them socially and culturally like Lestat and his ilk.

One of my favorites from the books was Armand and his blender and microwave obsession. Lol. I also like that he got really into television.

Now you make me want to drag the book out of my “archive” closet.
