I’m not sure if the title of The Fold — a web series that just released its fifth of six episodes of its first season — is related to Nicholson Baker’s book The Fermata, in which the narrator, Arno Strine, can stop time, and refers to the a state of suspended animation in which he is free to control anyone as “the fold.” Given the tone of the series from director and co-writer Matt Lambert, I would imagine that he is somewhat familiar with Bake, who, though not through Sci-Fi, may be one of the more notable contemporary writers concerned with sexual perversion.
