“I've heard that phallic symbol argument before, and always from ineffectual people driven to make everyone else as helpless as they are. who's more confused, those who think weapons are sexual organs, or those who want to take everyone's sexual organs away?.”
Quote by L. Neil Smith
Work
The Probability Broach
The Probability Broach is a science fiction novel that presents an alternate history scenario. The story begins with the murder of a government official in a near-future United States, which leads the protagonist, a police officer, to be transported to a parallel universe. In this alternate world, the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794 succeeded, resulting in the establishment of a libertarian society known as the North American Confederacy. The novel explores the political and social implications of this different historical outcome, contrasting it with the protagonist's original timeline. It is the first book in a series that delves into themes of political philosophy, individual liberty, and the nature of government. more
