If I recall the cellphone mostly had a substantial role in the war when Gen pretended to be Lillian, which I don’t think was part of that plan from the beginning, and doesn’t seem like it was a priori all that likely to work. This might be a nit pick, but it’s just still hard for me to see a realistic strategy in which spending all that time on a cellphone was worth skipping out on any other technology they could have used that time to make, even for a peaceful resolution. I kind of see that part as having just been to show off how you could make such an advanced technology with such primitive resources, which is cool but sticks out without some better in-canon justification.
Also, is this roughly what you were thinking of with the overlap between animal rights and human rights?
Yeah I can see what you mean—they could have taken a less flashy and more straightforward approach. It would be interesting to think about what else they could have made or done with what they made instead that might have been better.
Yes—I didn’t think about looking at how humane laws for people correlate with animals though. That’s really interesting.

Do you write fiction at all?
No not really, I haven’t written any fiction in a long while, I mostly just blog now. And you?
I have some ideas and I’m starting to flesh them out so yeah!
Nice! I’m pretty busy right now so I can’t guarantee efficiency, but feel free to send me any outlines/drafts if you would like feedback.
Oh thanks! I think I will once I get them a bit more organized.
