(Sean, for what is worth, remember that time you added a feature that within a limited time frame allowed commenters to self-edit their comments? Too bad it had glitches (forgot what they were), because I would love to have the ability to edit my own badly worded comments.

Natasha’s confession about her father had been prompted by her seeing the book I had been lent that morning. It was about psychotronic weapons. I had not heard the term before.

Apparently, they inflicted damage at long distance. They could implant thoughts in people’s minds without their knowing it. Oh dear, I thought on hearing this, here we go, back into that unmapped territory, among the monsters. Back home, I would have laughed. But the man who pressed the book on me, a scientist, insisted that these were no fabulous monsters. There was a reason why they did not appear on my mapped world, he was saying: the secret had been too well guarded by governments. It was the dark side of the science he worked in.

Psychotronic weapons were no futurologists idea, I read. They already existed; they were capable of destroying command systems at long-distance. The information they transmitted could kill troops, and potentially whole populations. They worked by manipulating the electro-magnetic force-fields around living organisms …

Does this account for Putin’s popularity?
