So that explains why an employee told me they didn't get rewarded for selling membership conversions.

Was the living, polyamorous relationship of Holden's parents meant as a deliberate subversion of the classic orphan-hero trope? I love your books (and the show!) There were so many times you just reversed the classic tropes (like the chosen one trope), I always wondered how conscience that decision was. Like were you thinking of the tropes you were subverting?

Profesor Armitage, thanks for your time. I'm actually headed to HLS this fall! I recently read War Law by Michael Byers, which focused a lot on the development of international laws of war, with an emphasis on how the U.S. has ignored these "laws" over the last half century. My question, will the U.N. ever be able to enforce so called international law if they don't have any sort of "executive" branch and every action has to be voted on by a Council we (and Russia and China) have veto power on? What is the big difference between the strength of the WTO, which is able to fine countries for their environmental rules, and the U.N., that can't even enforce compliance with signed treaties?
