@1: Nope, that's just a bonus. I'm reading this one because it's intentionally available for free in just about every format of ebook, in the hopes that more people will play along at home.
The thing I was left wondering about was, how do concepts like justice and revenge translate in a moneyless, deathless society? Presumably there is an ad-hoc court somewhere to hand out punishments, of a sort, and killing somebody will crater your Whuffie, but what exactly would Jules do if he caught the person who killed him?
