Fallout does not deserve to be the work of fiction that has the best depiction of a US/Canadian conflict, like there’s shitty comedy movies, and maybe a Turtledove book that even deals with it. But all of them treat it as a joke, like the second closet thing I can think of treating it somewhat seriously is maybe infinite jest but it’s like Quebec and French people aren’t real and their struggle was like a a school production with cardboard to like the IRA.

Idk, I’m done ranting.

Unavoidable tangential observation: over the years in addition to communists it seems to me that for some reason hexbear has attracted one the highest internet populations of Infinite Jest readers I have ever seen and I don’t know what to make of that.

Think it's a pretty common recommendation among reddit/4chan lit spheres. Idk, I've got it but haven't read it yet.
