On this world, fiction, stories, lies, hope and dreams are crimes, while a pirate television station calls for resistance.
The Doctor wants to help the resistance, then sees how easily dreams can become nightmares; the overview also contrasts fiction's dangers with the truth.
The plot includes a companion being stalked by shadows and another being committed to an asylum; these elements may merit a check-in if they feel unsettling.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
