A true pleasure to see antipodean sensibilities take root and blossom in your work, worthy successors to a similar energy in old school PKD's 'Faith of Our Fathers', Cordwainer Smith's 'Norstrilia', and M.K. Joseph's 'The Hole in the Zero'. You mentioned in a previous response that 'Faith' was a 'very probably', just wondering if you've ever read 'Norstrilla' or 'Hole'?

Thank you David, I certainly value putting those sensibilities at the forefront. Yeah, PKD hit me very hard when I was young (and thank you for the generous comparison). Have not read Norstrilia, though keep hearing about it to the point where I think I probably should. Had never even heard of The Hole in the Zero until you mentioned it just now. Cheers mate.

The 1967 Philip K Dick story "Faith of Our Fathers" (Wiki: Tung Chien is a Vietnamese bureaucrat in a world conquered by the Chinese...) was my gateway read to many of the 36 Streets universe's underpinnings. Are you familiar with it? If not, may I recommend it to you and to your readers? Just thought that you and OG PKD being fellow travelers in world building might be good words to share. More! Soon! Please!
