I had a thought today.
Anyone remember Yair Weinstock's novel
"Blackout"?
Since I first read it 20 years ago, I always considered the plot to be very unrealistic. A fraudster sowing seeds of discord, planning to create a culture of argument, in which communities would implode due to social friction. Weird, no?
Thinking about the plot in hindsight, however, the plot seems so much more plausible today.
