Hm. I suddenly realized how similar the Sparrow afterlife is - to the Internet. An infinite number of people and an infinite number of places and interests and topics. And practically none of all these people will ever meet or know what the people they talk with look like. There is heavy duty moderation all over the place. There are discussions and groups and plans and opinions and ideas - but a lot more gets said than done by the end. As an individual you can just forget about achieving any changes in the system, and even if you are part of a very large group the rule makers don't need to relate to it. You have no secrets because the tops see everything. As you can see everything everywhere, your TV has infinite channels and there are windows everywhere so you can listen in on all the wonderful meetings and planning operations.
Ah, wonderful spirit world. Being reincarnated into a living body looks a lot better by the minute. Please realise that I am not questioning Sparrow's depiction, it sounds quite plausible to me. I'm just not that enthusiastic about it.
