If you like scifi…. If you are sick of stories of dystopian whining and post-apocalyptic despair…. If you're wondering what the hell happened to the industry that gave us Neuromancer and The Mote in God's Eye and Dune…. Then I made you something nice.

People don't follow the rules. People don't even know what the rules are. The rules occupy a wall of bookshelves. Even lawyers don't know what the rules are. The impossibility of following the rules is why we have courts and prosecutorial discretion. They're supposed to be.
