I'm giving some thought to kick-starting work on a
novel whose major character would become a conspiracy
theorist over time.
Ironically, I pulled out my copy of GURPS Illuminati
and guess whose cartoons fill the book from start to
finish? Initials AG...?
I suppose there's a degree of comfort in believing
weird happenings have a cause, that the universe is
not as random as we fear it might be. But as a
faceless bureaucrat, I'm sworn to secrecy on all that stuff...
