Would you release the book?


You write a novel about a hero having an adventure and overcoming adversity and are trying to get it published.

When you get a vision into the future and learn that Tim Pool, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Belle Delphine, Stefan Molyneux, Candace Owens and Kevin Sorbo all jump on it and promote it claiming the entire story is a secretly metaphor for family values/loving God/the American way and how it's been lost due to the radical new generation.

The whole thing is a blatant giant dogwhistle for racism, misogyny and trans/homophobia.

None of this was your intention and you don't understand how they are seeing this from your work but this results in a HUUUUUUUUUUGE uptick in book sales, they can't print your novel fast enough. However also results in a string of violent crimes, hate crimes, assaults, aggression against women, anti gay protests, bigoted rhetoric being spread in person and online.

All of which has been inspired by your novel. It becomes the centerpiece of spreading vitrol, pain and hatred across the world. Like The Bell Curve meeting The Catcher in the Rye

It also makes you millions of dollars and as famous as JK Rowling or George RR Martin. Although the bulk of your fanbase are nutcases, loud nutcases.



How do you react?

Knowing this would happen, would you still release it?

Nothing technically was your fault directly. All you did was write the book. How people interpt it and act is not under your control
