Fiction As Dystopian Reality In Detroit

Although OTR never reads fiction and fantasy on a regular basis, he has made a big dent in the best of both genres over the years. This has occurred in part because he has a strong belief that science fiction in particular--fantasy to a far lesser extent--has a curious habit of approaching fact. Daniel J. Mitchell has more to say about this regarding Ayn Rand's fictitious Atlas Shrugged and the dystopia known as Detroit.

OTR needs to read that book. So do a few folks in Washington.
