Your last paragraph reminds me of one of my favorite short stories from him, about "Scissor Statements". Very black mirror vibes, and I mean that as a sincere complement.
Yes, I really like that one too. Fun and enjoyable to read, but once I got to the end, I found it quite thought provoking.
It hadn't occurred to me before to think about its relevance to Scott himself; there's some interesting irony there. Particularly, I think, because I rather imagine that's the opposite of what Scott has ever intended with his writing.
