The setting is one of the main reasons why I read AB for as long as I did (before it all disappeared into her ignominious hooch). I liked the fact there were real issues like xenophobia, acts of domestic terrorism and whatnot. I like setting up new social systems to see how and why certain groups function as they do-- and it was disappointing how LKH just sort of bowed out of that, waving it off with less and less explanation as the proportion of shitty sex got higher and higher.
I would write fiction for the universe it's set in, but that would be self-indulgent. Le sigh.
