Added DiffLines:

* FictionalFieldOfScience: Global Dynamics is basically [[Creator/IsaacAsimov Asimov's]] [[Literature/ThePsychohistorians Psychohistory]], with both being a mixture of applied mathematics and social sciences, both deriving material from highly detailed data about the population, and both using that data for the purpose of predicting the future.


Added DiffLines:

* MultipleChoicePast: The Old Man's origins are never clarified. [[spoiler: If the Librarian is to be believed, he used to be a student of {{Carl Jung}}, before twisting his mentor's idea of the collective unconscious into the early stages of [[Main/FictionalFieldOfScience Global Dynamics]]. His theories garnered attention that grew into cult activity, which eventually led to a vaguely explained catastrophe.]] The real-life reason for this nebulous backstory might be [[spoiler: the fact that Jesse Karp initially conceived of the second book's villain as a sort of vessel for the first book's villain, before changing the concept in a rewrite]].

Those Two Bad Guys is being dewicked and examples can be placed under its sub-tropes, unfortunately this line lacks context to tell which one it should be placed under.


* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Castillo and Roarke in the sequel.
