In Footfall, SF authors (including a clear cameo of Heinlein) were the advisors that enabled the US government to save the Earth from the aliens. So... yeah.

Breivik would be in Norway. He is not completely isolated btw, as he has visitors (IIRC, from an organisation that normally visits the lonely or elderly — he is not permitted to choose his own visitors).

I'm on the other side of the fence – I'm using tufte-css for my course on Computer Architecture at the CS department in Aarhus, Denmark. I've found the design very easy to work with and easy to read for the students.
