Tehan posted:another one (or a subplot of the same one, possibly) a cop that infiltrated an ecoterrorist group was found out because he kept repeating a bunch of 'the earth is dying' talking points, but the actual ecoterrorist community apparently had an unofficial policy where they don't bother talking about that stuff because they're all already on the same page and it's just a pointless circlejerk. Maybe This Other Eden by Ben Elton? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Other_Eden_(Elton_novel)

The twist is that the protagonists are their animal familiars, who are working undercover for the forces of good and have to figure out a way to sabotage the potion without blowing their cover. Der satanarchäolügenialkohöllische Wunschpunsch by Michael Ende. English title: The Night of Wishes: Or the Satanarchaeolidealcohellish Notion Potion. Great book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Night_of_Wishes

Sanford posted:A late 90s/early 00’s sci fi collection that had partial rules for a board game “recovered from the ruins of Manchester in 2036” where the four players were the pig, the pimp, the pusher, and the prostitute (prozzie?). And then the rules (or parts of) heavily implied that the game was to be played “live” as it were, on the street, with real people. And I think it maybe crossed over or got referenced elsewhere, maybe just tapped into a shared universe, which suggests it was by a single author rather than an anthology. Thank you! The story is "Pimp! -The Board Game".
