>> Yet the thing that makes the 'verse readable, even /eagerly/ anticipated, is that the characters aren't just going along with it. They're fighting in subtle, and often very long-term ways. <<
I agree. Not only is it gratifying to read about people fighting back, the tactics are useful to know -- especially the tidbits about radio, because it has such a deep history with resistance movements.
>> I want to laud that action in fiction, because we don't see much of it to laud in real life right now. <<
Too true. That's why I read and write a lot of what I do, because I want to promote those ideas.
