The work is mostly describing the way in which idealized, sometimes erroneous myths about the Orient gain a presence and weight in the real world (influencing culture, policies, etc). And while there are a lot of harmful beliefs that arise out of early academic study of the East I believe the book is a call to reimagine the world above this dichotomy of East/West. This game idea kind of came to me and the result was me exploring these ideas in a game format.
