What We Think

The Bone Collector is a breath of non-woke air by today’s standards. It’s old-school, focused on plot, character, and suspense, with little to no pandering to modern ideological currents. A rare relic of sanity from the 20th century.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Bone Collector was written before the rise of overtly ideological storytelling. Characters are largely defined by their roles, skills, and flaws. There’s little evidence of shoehorned identity politics or forced narrative to serve modern agendas. It’s all about the thriller, not breaking the fourth wall for the sake of a lecture.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, morality, family, and professionalism, are respected. The plot revolves around classic police work with no apparent agenda to undermine cultural norms. Masculine and feminine traits are both present, but neither is exaggerated to serve a point.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no heavy-handed preaching or ideological monoculture. The book is focused on mystery, not on pushing groupthink. Characters don’t all hold identical, modern views; instead, they have believable motivations and inner conflicts.
