I wonder why Kojima chose Sweden? By the way, with all of the Moby Dick references, I had forgotten that it was written by Melville, who dedicated it to the memory of Hawthorne. Both are heroes of Paul Auster. I like these art culture connections that Kojima creates. Haruki Murakami, a Japanese author who I greatly admire, does a similar thing with in his books, albeit without any of Kojima's penchant for secrecy. I hope you're right about a story expansion involving the S3 program and Solidus. Something that's been brought up but largely ignored in regards to the Moby Dick references, is that Solidus's name was George Sears. George Sears was a minor historical figure who went on one of the whaling expeditions with Herman Melville, the author of Moby Dick.
