Koteks wants American ingenuity and individuality recognized---again. Like Nefastis, "who still invents." Teamwork--that corporate togetherness word. "it is a way to avoid responsibility", says Koteks. 'symbol of the 'gutlessness of the whole society".
Pure overarching vision speculation: TRP idealizes the America of Jefferson and just-post?.......Around the time of Mason & Dixon.....yeoman-farmers, small community businesses, craftsmen, etc.....when the society supported individuality and ingenuity (and helping others via barn-raising, etc. was a natural part of the community). Before the "Little Rebellion Between the States".....before the Industrial "revolution" and what it did to workers.....Agree? Not?
p. 88 "that the underground of the unbalanced"--Fallopian---are creative types. More of what the Tristero is/are.
