DallasCowboys Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I just finished the book and all I can say is wow. I was close to tears when poor Eddie was stuck on the dead comet train. I just wanted to know what your guys and gals opinion on project X was? To me it felt super out of place and didn't do anything for the novel, I feel like it was there so the bridge would blow up.

SoAMadDeathWish Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 It's supposed to symbolize WMD's and the corruption of science by the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reidy Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 That's one reason. Another is to show the magnitude of what Stadler has done to himself and has accomplished by his refusal to judge and consider the consequences of what he's doing. Additionally, the story needs a few big knockout punches to consummate the economic and social collapse. This is one. The New York blackout is another.
