[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9533179, member: 18"] Yeah having read some of the High Republic books I don't think the authors missed this irony/similarity. Lina Soh is herself a slightly ambiguous character, especially given her tendency to walk around with two gigantic telepathic alien super-lions. She's clearly meant to have her heart in the right place but her ideas tend towards the grandiose and her respect for the very democracy that brought her to power is... limited... in the way some US presidents are portrayed in fiction. She's also really poor at dealing with corruption and boy is there a lot of corruption in the High Republic! This Great Work could be a variety of things, from like, an attempt to create a utopian meritocratic society (clearly failed if so), to some kind of "library world" (no sign of that but it could be the cause of the "treasure" rumours), to just the Barrier itself, as some kind of experimental planetary shield and/or cloaking device.
