Directors already made their deal. Could they still go on strike?

Cool comparison. I didn't know it could be had so many ways.

I feel like a huge part of the arcade experience was the free spinning steering wheel controller. You just spun it hard and stopped it after your truck made it around the corner. No unwinding of the wheel or anything. As a kid that couldn't drive, that was the right amount of realism (untealism?).

The inhibitors of the Revelation Space universe of books by Alastair Reynolds are a sort of unknowable, unescapale, and undefeatable force.

A secret force/organization that is seemingly undetectable and unbeatable bad guys that are always one step ahead of the good guys is one of the antagonists of the Pandora Star and Judas Unchained 2 book series from Peter F Hamilton.
