'By comparison with reality, my story is as tame as a holiday postcard'
Said by John Le Carre in the afterword of the novel. Do you think what he said is true?
"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."
Yes, because in real life, corporations get away with it. How often do confidential documentes leaked to the press really change anything? Isn't Wikileaks, for instance, proof that no matter how much the truth is known, companies and governments are never punished?
This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.
