In Hour of Judgement we are reminded what "unsupportable" actually means. At this point under #Jurisdiction the reader and protagonist are both a bit numb, so it's time to personalize the stakes.

This book is the hardest for me to reread. Because the anguish we see in the first hundred pages isn't Koscuisko's, but that of people helpless under Bond. Even when his options are constrained by the systems in which he operates, K. never loses personal agency to the extent the bond-involuntaries do.
