He was long before me. His case is odd because he was way too “openly autistic” for the time and probably wouldn’t have been able to win support at the level to be a real threat, which is probably why they didn’t bother to finish the job.

He put a novel on RoyalRoad that is, in my opinion, better than 98% of what comes out of publishing houses today, though it has a few errors due to the lack of a professional editor, and I haven’t finished it yet so I can’t comment on its entirety. It’s too long (450k words) and maybe too weird for traditional publishing right now, but it’s a solid story: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/85592/farisas-crossing

I will warn you that the politics are not subtle.
