Deep dives on the ending? (an online forum itemized Swartz critique)
Advances
- The Swartz reconstruction — the missing year is recoverable, and it runs: wraith doses Hal; Hal, Gately, Joelle (Wayne watching) dig up JOI's head too late; Orin breaks; the AFR deploys the master
- The wraith dosed Hal's toothbrush with Pemulis's DMZ
- did Hal ingest DMZ, and by what route (dosed / endogenous / self / none)
- what happens between p. 981 and p. 3 (the Annulation-Text)
