The reference definitely stemmed from the similarities in Coney Island. But I do think this latest footage is viscerally upsetting enough that I stand by the idea that there's a level of intentional alienation here that John K's stuff hasn't reached.

**slams on the machine, bar falls and gets impaled on something**

"pristine ethical track record" is a phrase that gives me gross spine chills.

I hate the third book so much, the ending especially. There's an idea there that becoming a decent person somehow earns you rewards from the universe that I utterly loath. The reward for becoming a good person is being a good person, not having the things you've lost handed back to you.
