This comment, and your many replies to the other comments below, are wonderfully insightful; thank you for sharing.

I'm actually in the middle of reading the Nebula-winning novel The Windup Girl, which takes place in 2200s Thailand, and the insights you've provided add great context to what I'm reading.

Thanks for sharing!
