Resonance: Tags?

Posted at Updated:
 

(Potential spoilers for content up to and including chapter 4)

I've been going back and forth on the accuracy of providing Resonance with a "Politics" tag (and, to a lesser extent, a "Military" one). The story certainly involves politics; intersectionality and many other schools of thought would argue that everything does. But interacting with politicians is simply how Joshua works to achieve Angie's plan; it's not a central theme of the story per se.

I also don't want to provide the impression from adding a "Politics" tag that the story takes a particular political slant: all sides are portrayed to various degrees as flawed, meddlesome and paranoid, with different tactics and capacities for violence. The only central political theme is one of peace.

For now, I've decided to leave the tag(s) out, but you should be aware that politics will rear its head in the context of the story.

P.S. A few readers have written to say that they find that they find the occasional snippets of Hebrew, Arabic and other languages I've used in the narrative for local dialog a little distracting, as they feel that they have to stop and look up translations. Hopefully most of the words used can be guessed from their context, but I am in complete sympathy… it's just that I find inline translations of foreign words equally distracting. My solution will be to provide a glossary at the end of the story. Naturally, that can't be posted until the story itself is complete… so if you wish to wait a week or two until the story is concluded with an included glossary, I completely understand.
