* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: The last third of the story is altered compared to the original novel, which causes [[spoiler:Clavis Shepherd's engineered genocide of the US]] to be far more obtuse in logic. In the novel [[spoiler:it turns out the "grammar of genocide" was designed by developed nations in a conspiracy to create a new world order, and its implied they bombed Sarajevo to send out their subliminal messaging in the ensuing coverage, which better explains Shepherd's disillusionment]]. In the movie, the motivation is becomes a more amorphous "America doesn't want uncomfortable truths like genocide told to it".
