I love how libs are downvoting you for pointing out basic facts of the situation. These people don't give a shit about democracy, they just want to make sure they're in power.
without a hint of irony
The spymasters criticised the “reckless campaign of sabotage across Europe being waged by Russian intelligence, and its cynical use of technology to spread lies and disinformation designed to drive wedges between us”.
I'm sure that'll turn the military collapse right around.
Yeah, it's a good series overall.
It is rare that you run a book that sucks you in the way Piranesi does.
It left a big impression on me as well, the world the way he sees it is so peaceful and tranquil, but then you start gradually realizing the horrific situation he's actually in. And this contrast between the way the character perceives his circumstances and the reality of the situation is kind of haunting.

It's always hilarious when illiterates proceed to make clowns of themselves by discussing things they haven't read.
