American Gods Season 2 preview: Starz show turns Technical Boy from basement nerd to vaping millennial
The world was a vastly different place when 'American Gods' premiered as a series in April 2017 than when Neil Gaiman penned the original novel in 2001. Heading into season 2, the show, just like millenials, is still coming up with ways to stay relevant.
One of the most contemporary characters introduced into the series is Technical Boy, one of the New Gods, and being the personification of the Internet, he is the purveyor of all things technology or related to technology.
His vaping ways often hide the fact that he's desperate to prove himself while being hungry for respect and power he feels he's entitled to.
Technical Boy's immaturity sees him struggle to keep his impulsivity and petulance in check, making him horribly unpredictable. Technical Boy is essentially technology made flesh.
