In this time when public attention is turned to the death of Steve Jobs, Orticanoodles chooses to represent Bill Gates, the first antagonist par excellence. Considered the second richest man in the world and the richest man in the United States, Bill Gates has dedicated his life to research and development computer, so designing the first personal computer in an era where the technology did not exist. Orticanoodles sees Bill Gates as an alien who has brought knowledge to the world. Like the best sciencefiction film, in which the alien appears initially in the service of humanity, then reveals his interest in the conquest of the world. As in all recent series of works dedicated to the great leader and media personality known, even Bill Gates becomes a monster, heis deprived of the filtered image proposed by the media, blotting out the side surface of its image. The message is distorted and becomes social criticism.
