Haha, a nice catch. I totally missed it the first time I saw this picture. God knows why; I should be able to recognize that cover anywhere!

Anyways, waiting for the Party and its leaders to emerge.

But really, I'm intrigued how dissent is dealt with in this society. After all, thought crimes could potentially undermine the legitimacy of the very cornerstone of this society, the Sibyl System. It would be efficient to just lock away people trying to spread harmful memes etc. Of course, Dominator's only work when pointed to someone, so policing the Internet would have to be quite extensive to catch these thought criminals.

All of the above is of course based on the relatively speculative premise that dissent is in some way deemed harmful in this society.
