I find it weird that someone would choose to spend hundreds
of thousands of words creating fictional worlds and
populating them with imaginary characters who are part of
complex plots, just to turn a single uncomplicated political
point (that can be summed up in a sentence and understood by
most schoolkids) into something so complex that, apparently,
it's not noticed by a high percentage of intelligent people
who read those books. But, then, I don't drive...
