I liked the book, and Pier's willingness to stretch the Adult
Conspiracy.
BTW, I suggested the title to Piers Anthony! You can find the credit
in the Author's note in the back.

Yes. I saw.
You're not actually going to get a prize for "most mentions in Contributed

(The book, to be fair, -does- raise some interesting questions, AND some
scary thoughts, about this place where the A.C. can literally erase various
thoughts and memories from people's heads. But I don't think it really comes
down on the right side of many of the answers it tries to give.)

Who's in the lead in that category?

... you're missing the point. It doesn't MATTER who is. To anyone. At all.
