Omg omg omg. I liked this better than Do Androids Dream etc, I think. 
 Questions to ponder over before I forget: 
 What do I make of Joe Adams? Someone who had some semblance of scruples but lacked the courage to go against the status quo, because his current, comfortable life depended on it. Yet when he was presented an opportunity to kill Brose, he ran away. Was he an act of cowardice? He knew then, that Lantano was the one responsible for the murders, but he didn't know the extent of Lantano's evil-ness and he knew how terrible Brose could get - so his decision was based on known vs unknown fear. 
 So cowardice, not courage, then. But is this kind of cowardice really bad? Without it, what's stopping him from becoming another Brose or Lantano? At the last part, when he finally resolved in himself to complete his work - the Mother of All Announcements - Nicholas was prepared to kill him anyway. So, hmm. 
 If I were in Nicholas/Adams shoes, what would I do? Continued deception, or the truth?
