I predict this will be an excellent read. Ordering it now.

Gah! Triumph, btw, meaning “Not the end of days, just a bunch of really sick people who need to have their toys taken away and be put someplace safe until they either feel better or die”.

No. Not for me, sorry. Well explained, and I'm sure it's for some folk with more happy-go-lucky souls, but the whole "End of Days" crowd make me want to be able to sculpt a memetically targetted virus that would either make their brains different, or just reformat them and install an actual personality. There are a lot of people calling for the End of Days at the moment, and it sickens me. I need to put a good few country miles between myself and this one, even if it it does turn out in triumph just because my poor little overloaded brainium can't take any more Death Cult crap.
