Is the title inspired by historic Richmond’s Three Days in April 1865 when the city fell to the Union army after four years of Civil War? Even then, the news apparently was handled the way it would be today: “Nothing new here. The fires are out and perfect quiet reigns.” --Union Major General Godfrey Weitzel

I wasn't trying to establish any real parallels between the Civil War and the abortive war between the Engineered and the UnAltered described in my book, but yes - that was the jumping off point.

Dropping by to say congrats. I heard about the movie adaptation of Mickey7. And Bong Joon-Ho's directing it! He's the biggest director outside of America. I gotta ask, what did he say to about what he loved about Mickey7? Because so far I've only been able to find Three Days in April, which I thought was a brilliant satire of the cyberpunk end of A.I. Still, what did BJH say to you about it?
