Re: This, That, and the Other (none / 0)
As with the economy our cultures have been living in a fantasy land for a few decades, particularly the last 10 years.  People in fantasy land don't want to see anything that closely approximates their reality.  I for one welcome the return of the present.

Re: This, That, and the Other (none / 1)
I have said before that I think the explosion in Fantasy and historical literature co-incides with the rise of Thatcher and Reagan and a desire of the English speaking world to live in a fantasy golden age where everything can be solved by Magic or things were Mythically better. (I think TBG disagrees but thats just a vague memory)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
