The introduction uses storytelling traditions in genre science fiction as well as non-genre writing as it explores the novel?s narrative structure, the world building process, and character development. The novel demonstrates the postmodern and genre techniques while masquerading as a traditional short novel, encouraging the reader to discover possible conspiracies in order to complete the narrative.en-USscience fictioncreative writingOf fish and swimming swordsBook
