Be More Chill

Product Information

When the main character hesitates to be in a sexual situation or start a relationship, the character is continually accused of being homosexual by the Squip. It would be epic, but honestly I'm so stoked and really looking forward to any graphic novel of this thing actually existing!

Be More Chill takes place in Metuchen, New Jersey. It is written in the first person, from the perspective of high school student Jeremiah “Jeremy” Heere. Jeremy attends the fictional Middle Borough High School and is considered a loser by many of his peers; the popular girls have no interest in him, and he is constantly bullied. Jeremy's best friend is the music-loving Michael Mell. They sit together at lunch and talk about Jeremy's attempts at wooing his longtime crush, Christine Caniglia. Jeremy is tired of being a loser and hopes to find a way to change this. His main goal in life is to get Christine to notice him, then date her. Jeremy plans to implement his plans as he and Christine both practice for their school play, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. His advances are slow-going at first. Michael tells Jeremy that he's vaguely heard of a pill that can improve someones life; he thinks it's called a "script" and he suspects his brother used one to get a high SAT score. I enjoyed the book but seeing Michael Mell as a straight white boy with an Asian Fetish was completely unexpected and different from the picture of him that I have from George Salazars Michael Mell.McPhee, Ryan. " Be More Chill Will Play Off-Broadway; Will Roland to Star", Playbill.com, April 13, 2018 From what I can glean from my first listen of the album, the plot of the musical was tweaked in several ways. I'm going to read the CD booklet to find out exactly what I've not been hearing. Regardless, some of the songs are catchy, and I can always fix them when I sing along in the future. Given the ending I can understand why none of the other characters get much depth to them outside of Jeremys own opinions of them but it is a shame as so many people come across as vapid or one dimensional.

There is also some lesson that the Squip gives him, instructing him that women and girls are attracted to pheromones. Once you get with a girl, other girls will come to you and want you. -- Again, this is terribly problematic, because it states that every girl will want to have sexual advances made towards her because of the boy's prolific history. Then the Squip gives this comment, "HOW DO YOU THINK GUYS WITH GIRLFRIENDS BECOME SO ATTRACTIVE TO OUTSIDE FEMALES THAT THEY'RE FORCED TO CHEAT WITH?" (155). Now, this is suggesting that there is justification in infidelity on the male's part because of females' "innate" attraction. On one cover of the book version of Be More Chill, the Squip is depicted as a blue chip with silicone-chip-esque lines. However, in both the text and the musical, it is described as a grey, oblong pill. In the musical, Jeremy claims it's similar to a Wintergreen Tic Tac. Imagine being controlled by a computer that talks in your head. Well you may think this is impossible, but somehow Jeremy manages to get this "computer" called a squip. Why? You ask. This so called computer gets you whatever you desire, at least that's what Jeremy thinks. "Going out. At least now i know which stage I'm up against. I'm getting prepped. I think I might have a shot," Jeremy says to himself. The only reason Jeremy is getting a squip is because of Christine. Be More Chill is the book that shows you the journey that Jeremy goes through.Well, are you? Because, like, there's this pill. Yeah, it'll make you act, look, seem, sound, make, break, buy, sell, find, invent, STINK of coolness. And... get this, you'll be able to touch boobies Jeremy, the protagonist is a normal high school nerd that goes through life being teased and writing it down on his humiliation sheet.

The squip teaches him how to get girls, do his homework, and even helps him remember his shakespear lines. This supercomputer helps him change from the weirdest nerd in the school to the coolest kid in the school.

Deadline. October 20, 2018 . Retrieved July 4, 2021. In the book, the Squip is developed by Sony. A device named VeriChip (a microcomputer implanted into the brain surgically) already exists, but it is impractical and the procedure to implant it "[involves] a needle large enough to dose an elephant". Although Squips surpass any previously existing CPUs, Sony planned to make it more easily accessible and compared it to an "ingestible Palm Pilot". It can also be written as SQUIP, Squip, or squip.
