First person is only used for one character Because the whole of both books are stories told by Jean.

Loving Life Partner posted:The same entity manipulating the minds of the Oubliette society also enters the Jean VR and assumes Jean's identity, I think? My take was that the king of Mars had always been a copy of Jean who had been imprisoned in Oubliette sometime after their experiences diverged.

Also, my understanding is that there was no revolution; Le Roi just hired the zoku to make images of "pre-revolution" society and inserted them into the gevulot so that no one would question his system of hands off rule.

Neurosis posted:Having finished the Fractal Prince, I am a little confused on a few things: The spike is referred to as a singularity, but given that the use of singularities as weapons or power sources seems fairly common I think it may have been a technological singularity rather than a gravitational one. I think Jean is a human who had the prince of flowers Aun in his head for a while; at the end of the Fractal Prince after the Aun leaves he says he feels "small again, barely more than human" I'm not really sure about the jewel; it may be a way around the problem of making perfect copies at a quantum level.
