Brilliance from Warren Ellis about violence in fiction and society: “Difficult topics must be engaged with, and in the way that fiction invites us to engage but numbing news-porn deliberately does not, because news wants us only to witness and have our buttons pushed, and denies greater emotional and intellectual immersion. The news doesn’t want us to think, only to react, like plants.” — Perfect take on the news media v fiction.
