I’m trying my best to avoid spoilers. The group is forced to self-govern under pressure. For me, this makes the book more emotionally and morally engaging. Let’s see here, Carl receives a knowledge weapon.
A repository of techniques the system would prefer not be democratized.
A way to shift power away from spectacle and toward competence.
Totally badass.
The author is blatant in your face, “Systems are most afraid of people who know how things actually work.”
Speak your truth, Sir.
This book is about Carl moving from endurance to intent.
Pour one out for the homies lost along the way.
