James Milan was decapitated and the coroner ruled his death as due to natural causes. Bang, bang, bang, left, right and centre, like champagne corks. But still for postmodernist bullshit, the law is streets ahead. Anyone who's sat in on an adversarial court case, seen the mechanisms of the law, the subjectivity, the basic disengagement from fact, truth thrown to the wind, it really is like being in the mouth of madness. The person who's in the right might win the case, but not because he's in the right - just for other, quite surreally disassociated reasons.
Reality gets the kiss-off at the start.
The lawyer Harpoon Specter is great to write, he's a monster who operates in that totally unanchored, mutable alternate dimension. The law is where reality goes to die - he knows this. In Slaughtermatic he talks about fractal litigation, where the flapping of a butterfly's wings on one side of the world results in a massive compensation claim on the other. All these characters are very articulate, they'll talk about the manipulations they're working. Even thugs as they die are fully aware and articulate so you get this constant eyes-open effect, nobody ever just goes off into the dark.
