Well then, as a fan of the sport who apparently already knows everything a mainstream magazine has to offer and then some - can you offer some insight, a link or anything at all for the rest of us beyond self-satisfied bitching?

I enjoyed that visualization. When you consider that Consider Phlebas was published in 1987, it was probably necessary. In 2013, a writer can count on all sorts of metaphors and approximations that wouldn't even have been a concept to
