“This had been the place where the operation had been developed, from which the first test subjects had been drawn. The purpose of the brain lesions was to deter violence and conflict, so who better to experiment on than people caught up in an endless blood feud? Like rabid enemies in a locked room, the tribes trapped within the ring of little men would reveal anything you wanted to know about the very human origins of the bloodshed.”
Pg 628
Reaction: This part was probably the most least expected thing out of the whole book. I kept trying to figure out what the reservation was all about and how it could have possible been out there in the wild this whole time without anybody else finding out or without them eventually drifting into the but the whole thing flew right over my head. Apparently the reservation is a very carefully constructed 'experiment' that's constantly being run by city doctors. They keep these 2 tribes in a constant feud inside this reservation in order to study the violent human behavior so they'll know exactly what to condition people against back in the city. The wild people are kept in the reservation by what is referenced as 'the ring of little men' which are really little robotic voodoo dolls tied to the trees all around the reservations that sends a shock wave of pain to anyone that comes near them. Its crazy to think that the operation most likely originated from this case study.
Analysis: The author shows here the roots of the operation. By studying any destructive and negative behavior of the 2 feuding tribes in the reservation they were able to create the lesions to do exactly what they wanted to everyone's brains so they harbor any of the traits of the wild people in the reservation. It really shows what lengths these people will go to, to create their idea of a 'perfect' society. They use these people and let them kill each other out in the wild and study them in a form of some twisted experiment just so they can go back to the city and create their brain lesions based off of their findings. Every time you think you're starting to have this society figured out the author throws another crazy secret behind this civilization that just opens up a brand new group of questions that keeps you reading, looking for answers.
