Lyndon LaRouche. I’d occasionally run across a few of his minions out leafletting and they oozed that culty wacko vibe.
I couldn’t tell you, TBH. I have only read the series of books.
Well it’s a series, but Three body problem. It should have been right up my alley, but I got so tired of every decision by every character being stupid that I couldn’t be bothered to read the last fifty pages of the last book.
Even if I charitably assumed the point of the book was to show that people are weak and stupid, the series was such a ham-handed strawman as to undercut its own commentary. And even worse, it had just enough interesting ideas to lead me to believe it was going somewhere worthwhile, but it never did.
It’s been years and I’m still pissed off that I wasted a week on it.
You ever stand behind a couple of geezers in line somewhere and they start talking about some random stuff? They didn’t know each other. They were just bored.

Named after a man who went on to chair ANSI and be president of ISO. That’s a dude all about measuring things.
I try to save money anyway, so I guess it’ll be ok. At least as long as nobody needs avenged.
Gary Oldman, in the role of a lifetime.
Sheer pandemonium.
Not national parks, but Elephant Rock and Johnson Shut-Ins in Missouri are both pretty neat.
All it takes is one civilization to shoot off their mouth and get destroyed by a much more advanced neighbor, in some way that doesn’t look quite natural. That will tend to confirm the cosmic paranoia.
Some stay dry and others feel the pain. Chocolate rain!
The public library has tools and such in a lot of places.
