It’s fiction, and that it starts with the word “FACT” doesn’t make it not fiction. Heck, seems a great way to promote fiction sales is to - in the context of the fiction - call it fact. <<<
Amazing how many people here just don’t get how propaganda works.
>>> FWIW: I liked “The DaVinci Code”. It was an entertaining portrayal of vast complex ancient conspiracies, which always makes for entertaining FICTION. From the previews, I look forward to “Angels & Demons” - again, as entertaining FICTION. <<<
Funny. Just this week I had a discussion with a co-worker who said they couldn’t take _Atlas Shrugged_ seriously because it was just an entertaining fiction. They read the book, they enjoyed the characters and situations in a sci-fi kind of way, but saw no more in the book. It was just an entertaining fiction.
Do you think all fiction is propaganda if it involves historical events? One can make that claim. Remember ‘The Name of the Rose’? Do you think that was anti-Catholic propaganda?
