It’s interesting how much I find myself influenced by Mission: Impossible — Fallout as I write this novel. Going into this, I did not really expect that to be the case. But as I actually write the novel, I realize M:I — F really helps me understand the expectations of pop art. I find it interesting how they never mention any political parties during the course of the movie, even though they talk a lot about politics in a general manner.
My novel, in contrast, wallows in politics. The whole crux of the conceit of the story is, well, politics. I take a very dim view of modern politics and human nature in this story, but in the back of my mind I find myself thinking about how M:I — F deals with it in an entertaining manner.
Here are some other videos I’ve done recently about all of this. Enjoy.
