Hi Matt, insightful read. Just to add an example of a book that not only has an underlying moral argument, but has it out and discussed in plain view, is Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. The moral argument being on the morality of bringing long-extinct animals into the modern day world for entertainment, as well as the expectancy of humanity being able to control them.
Great example. I love Jurassic Park so much because of how on point it's moral argument is. He did a great job centering his story on that conversation. It's the age old argument of whether we should be playing God. Clearly, it's a warning wrapped in great entertainment lol. Thanks for checking this out!
I feel like this just changed my entire life 🤯
Glad this helped! Changed my entire writing when I learned about it. Thanks for reading!
