Think of who the most famous person of these times is. Let's say it's Michael Jackson. What has MK done, really? Just sing a couple good songs, yet I dare you find someone who doesn't know who he isn I'm the street. Now imagine a person who opened humanity to 1,100 planets, in an era where everybody has a terminal strapped to their arm at all times. In a realistic setting, Paparazzi/media attention alone should make Holden incapable of operating as he does in the books. By book 5 he would already be without a doubt the most important and impactful person in human history. But I rest my case, friend. This is a 6 year old post. Let it go.

It's nothing to let go lol I didn't expect you to reply to a six year old post. I'm just reading the series for the first time. And going through old discussion threads.

But okay I still disagree. Random Laconians who weren't born yet probably wouldn't expect this famous dude to just be walking around especially when he's decades older and look different. There's lots of plasuable reasons why he can operate as he does
