@stavvers @mekkaokereke I've actually tried writing about the US intelligence services realistically in my own alt-hist SF, but I'm not sure I did the insanity of the US Security State justice.
@cstross @stavvers @mekkaokereke I feel like Andor does a passable job of conveying this.
@Rhube @stavvers @mekkaokereke What's Andor? Is it a Star Trek thing? Or from Doctor Who?
@cstross @stavvers @mekkaokereke Not sure if you're teasing me (if so, please allow for my brain fog and be kind; I'm having a high-CFS symptom day) or equally if it's weird for me to suspect that.
Andor is a Star Wars TV spin off, but working at a whole other level to the others. Looking at the realities of organised rebellion and the imperial corruption/messiness in response to that. Unusually gritty for modern Star Wars; strong critique of the military industrial complex.
@Rhube @stavvers @mekkaokereke Yeah, I don't watch movies or TV drama. And Star Wars after "Revenge of the Jedi" is dead to me.
@cstross @stavvers @mekkaokereke Fair enough.
