I like that, detail as rebellion--the freedom of the mind, or using the tyranny's own fixations against it, exaggerating compliance until it makes itself absurd...
And then there are the excesses of fantasy as means of satire--which is what I think of with Rabelais.
You know, fantasy used to be an entirely more gruesome and provocative tool... I would like to see that done more often in the Genre.
