“It is 2020. 250k are dead from a raging pandemic; a private space company is launching crewed missions NASA can’t. A mad president is live-tweeting a painfully slow psychotic break, refusing to leave office. The planet boils.” —Blurb from “2020” obscure sci-fi book from 2007.

What I was trying to imply is that most people in one of these settings don't have that either. ;) Authorial perspective gives us the privilege of a clear logic to the setting, but the people inside the setting don't have access to that logic or it wouldn't work.

Yeah that’s fair. But at least the protagonist does. Here anyone who acts like they know what’s going on seems to end up with egg on their face 6 months later.
