Pompous Rhombus posted:The Algebraist was good but not great: some cool concepts, but the over-the-top, mustache-twirling villain dragged it down, /spoiler]. I read it as him consciously aping an over the top villain and using it as a guide for his behaviour - he chose his name for associations etc. He was cognizant that treating the dwellers the way he did was probably not going to be productive, but decided that full blown supervilliany might produce results. He was ultimately cynical enough to abandon his Big Dumb Object when the Summed Fleet came hammering into the system. Entropic posted:I keep meaning to write it up and post it in LF or something. Please do this.

Cuntpunch posted:I'm completely rethinking it and already considering another reading to sort things out. It is probably cheating but it is worth rereading the chapters in chronological order after your first read through because it definitely helps you link it up.
