Well I am all in favor of having such exposition woven into the plot if
at all possible, since that is always better than the usual boilerplate
pre-history narrative most people skip over to get to the story.
However it wasn't obvious to me that such an exposition was coming, and
there seemed to be a tacit assumption that I should have some idea of
what the hell is going on. As long as that's coming, I am willing to
wait and see...
