      Still pissed they wouldn't spare a sheep a month to keep him around to help with the nuke plant. (I still love the novel, but that bit casually tossed in right at the end was ... yeah)

      you're forgetting a detail - there was a trade off on his time - he could either develop insulin *** OR *** develop mustard gas to keep the cannibals away

      The way it was phrased suggested to me that the focus on the nuke plant was what stopped it, which seems a much less obvious trade off to me given his future value along those lines. If I'd read it as the trade off you describe, I'd've been 100% fine with it.

          https://www.nature.com/articles/4531184a … "The sacrifice of the scientist who devotes his last winter to making poison gases for the power plant's protection, rather than insulin that would save his own life, is manipulative"

          Interesting. I'll have to try and remember this if I re-read it in the future. It seems ... strange ... for me to've misinterpreted their writing this badly given how high quality it is, but it definitely seems like "somehow I managed it anyway" is the most plausible hypothesis
