Thanks for the shout-out. That was a fun chat, and I hope people who read Incel will click through. But who is "Adam Contarini"? -- I suppose the complete pseudonym should be Contarini Fleming, after the Disraeli novel of the same name.
On the issue of potential future doxxing and cancellation, I am in a pessimistic minority. My guess is that the pendulum will swing and wokeness will come back worse than ever, even more angry, but also out for revenge and backed by government power. The historical case which is closest to ours is China, where people came out in the open during Mao Zedong's One Hundred Flowers Campaign and were then destroyed a few years later in the Great Cultural Revolution. That's where I think this is all going. The Woke Revolution isn't over, it hasn't even started. The generation that grew up woke will be further along in their careers, wealth, and influence after 2028. They have not changed their minds about anything. I hope I'm wrong.
With the way the Overton window has shifted in the past couple of years, ARX, I don't think your novel places you at any current risk for cancellation.
It’s film instead of literature but Andrei Tarkovsky’s films are the best artistic presentation of “faith” (in both religious and non religious senses) I’ve seen.
