I’ve been thinking about the war scenes in Golden Son a lot lately, specifically after they land from the Iron Rain and Darrow’s description of the automated type of drone war being fought. Obviously not saying PB is Nostradamus but that scene is a really good description I feel of how things are going in the real world, frighteningly so. Except you know, no Ragnar to jump a kilometer into the air and spear one out of the sky. I just think it’s very interesting and prescient that PB chose to include the drone and long-range depersonalized warfare alongside the sort of dueling space-fantasy stuff that happens throughout most of the series, and that it seems to mainly only happen in this part of GS. Perhaps it started feeling too real?
