The Inverted World: Difference between revisions

* [[Alien Geometries]]: Encountered far North and South

* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Helward and Victoria

* [[Contrived Coincidence]]: The fact that up until the end of the novel, the city just happens to have been travelling over land for thousands of miles, never encountering a sea or major lake.

* [[Cool Train]]: Earth-city

* [[River of Insanity]]: The City's sisyphean struggle forwards towards optimum as it constantly moves away from them. A hopeless journey towards a nonexistant destination...

* [[Slave Race]]: The native "tooks" are treated this way by the people of the City.

* {{spoiler|[[Superweapon Surprise]]: Those "primitives" the City's been exploiting? Turns out the City's only encountered deeply impoverished villages so far. Word of its rape and pillage has been spreading to the North, where the natives have rifles and grenades...}}

* {{spoiler|[[Through the Eyes of Madness]]: If Elizabeth is correct, much of what Helward sees throughout the novel is delusions caused by the translat generator.}}
