Kindle Notes & Highlights
records went to the truth or otherwise of it, because the end of the Old was when record-keeping began to fall apart. The failure of the global information network, a deluge of artificially generated false testimony. Nothing from a whole decade could be trusted, and even that nothing was rusted full of holes.
Taking a world gripped with shortages and inequalities and strife and imposing a string of weak strongmen on it seems like prodding a terminally ill patient with a stick. Maybe there’s nothing you can do to make things better, but that doesn’t mean you let some sociopath get their jollies by making things worse.
I really don’t like the electromagnetic mouth-feel of the place.
