The thing he says about The Board's 'Green Deal' and them running the planet into the ground before escaping in drag sounds like something a right winger ranting about climate change and the WEF would say nowadays.

Listened to this the other night and just it read it today in Nova Express, love it, one of the best bits so far. Inflexible Authority.
This bit in the notes that was cut out is cool, with the text spread out over the page like a modernist poem.
Might have got this a bit mangled, but that part where they're injecting colour tinted junk into someone so it shows up on a scan of their body, then making a copy of the scan to replicate it in other subjects/feed off it is genius.
He's often referring to fade ins/outs as though we're watching a film in general, also "The Director" suddenly appearing and ranting at everyone. That happens in some of the later books too, particularly The Place of Dead Roads.
I guess The Director is kind of similar to The Arranger in Ulysees in that respect, replacing the traditional narrator in literature as new mediums and methods were invented.
