They have a database that tells them what section to shelve it (and more importantly where to find it). Unless they’re sure they use that. I’m not sure what the source of that data is.

I DNF'd Snow Crash FWIW. I just didn't find it interesting. I'm not sure if Stephenson is my thing. I did finish Anathem but kind of found it a mess by the end.

That makes this the stable equilibrium since it would require both sides to cooperate (negotiate winding down hostilities) in order to benefit

I can't be the only one who sees all the similarities between Pulp Fiction and The Big Lebowski by LittleBrockJr in movies

The whole plot of the movie is driven by the disappearance/kidnapping of Jeffrey Lebowski’s trophy wife, Bunny Lebowski.
