BE redirect

Thanks, rich, for the kind words. I did suspect the doctor, but it’s nice to know. The whole story of Rosemary’s Baby has probably been analyzed in feminist terms as the patriarchy presiding over the ceding of autonomy in child rearing, hasn’t it? 
My analysis of the choice of villain in BE needs a little work.
We know what we know (although there is more info than my buffers can store - I guess that is why tv news repeats a manageable number of facts over and over, that and supporting a narrative, of course) but we don’t know the full extent of what we don’t know. 

But I do know that Horst’s unoccupied office was not part of Cantor-Fitzgerald, so the direction of attention would be towards the relatively humble sphere of commodity trading rather than municipal bonds.
And the notion that he’s able to continue his trading in the Midwest, and even make a vacation of it for himself and their sons, suggests a focus on the ways life goes on after a cataclysmic event.
The rise of gaming and its implications as a method towards social control (at one point the kids play a game where they shoot people for having bad manners, and at another point they inform an adult that, sorry, kids don’t read anymore) and away from it (DeepArcher); the financial implications of big computing taking its place among multinational movers and shakers in the person of Gabriel Ice; the personification of the executive arm of neoliberalism in Windust, his undoing, and his human side; the rise of Russian influence in the US - all of these and more seem to be larger themes in BE than the events of late Fructidor 2001.
Did the Internet (and by extension, the plot of BE, a-and human progress itself) interpret them as damage and route around them?
