There's a book where a bunch of people who have terminal illnesses form a kind of terror cell to suicide bomb health care boards to force the system to change. I'm almost surprised it hasn't happened yet.

Is it ok to incite things via writing a book where people do something and it works out well, rather than just saying everyone should do it?

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

Of course it's OK. As to whether it's legal, ask a lawyer.

do you happen to remember the title or any other details about it? cuz that's going straight on my fiction reading list lol

I figured out which one it was.

It was "Radicalized", one of the 4 short stories in Cory Doctorow's book "Radicalized".

You can buy it on his own site:

P.S. Unauthorized Bread is also great, from that same book.
