2/ I had someone missed the entire, you know, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT of Case. As a 13 yo I read it for the action and setting. Now I see that it's about a man who's given up on life, intentionally charting a path towards suicide-by-events. I mean, this isn't a deep reading >

3/ It says so, in so many words, right there in the text! ...but all of that Cyberpunk 2020 underworld that seems so cool when you're 13, and you think back on when you're 25 or 35 and think "actually, that's filthy and destructive and gross"? GIBSON SAID SO !

4/ Rereading Dune a year or so back was similarly eye opening. I guess this is just three milli-Moldbugs. I'm not telling you to READ OLD BOOKS (like, 300 years old). But I am saying "re-read old favorites".

Starship Troopers wasn’t all that different between 13 and 40-something.
