@davidgerard@circumstances.run @mxchara@cyberpunk.lol worse books have been published by real authors. it's better than atlas shrugged. I remain quite impressed by Atlas Shrugged. I have definitely read it, cover to cover, but for some reason by brain deleted all recollection of it almost immediately after I finished. I couldn’t tell you a single major plot point or even the protagonist’s name. I’ve never had any other work of fiction so thoroughly fail to leave a lasting impression. I can even remember plot points of Kevin J Anderson books I read 20 years ago, which surely approach the nadir of publishable writing.
