 It's easy to imagine yourself as a radio broadcaster in the 1940s, shouting out war dispatches to rouse the people into patriotism. "Tune in next week to see what happens," and so-forth.
-But don't forget where your news report – who's writing this plot summary – is coming from: a future that's much more sensible, much less sensational, and much more even-keeled. That doesn't mean these dispatches should be ''boring'' so much as they should be devoid of any caricature of journalism. The tone we're going for is journalism with a sense of adventure and irony. We want the reader to feel like they're reading an actual news story with a sly grin. Recall the beginning of this tutorial where we said that our goal is to create verisimilitude, which means making the reader feel like they're seeing something that could have actually come from the future.
