Hi, Eve–

Regarding Sleeper, while I can see how it can be interpreted as “being in charge of world events”, Tao’s organization is more into manipulation of world events for their own benefit, and any superiority achieved is a

side effect. The central conflict, to me, is not how Carver can fulfill his mission, but how can he get out of his predicament alive, and does he really think he deserves to, after all he’s been a part of and has done. Maybe I’m

getting ahead of myself here; if you’ve only read the first TPB then these things are made a bit clearer.

Happy New Year, Eve! When ya gonna blogroll me?

Eve: D’oh! I wasn’t clear. I didn’t mean that the TAO organization (the thing the main character infiltrates) controls the world. I meant the other organization, with the creepy paradise retreat–the one where TAO kills the father so he can manipulate the son’s vote. That one is specifically described as controlling world politics and culture.

In re blogrolling, it’s all random, but I’ll try to update it tonight.
