Speaking as the author of this bill, like I told the sponsor, if I had had the Nemesis trilogy as part of my English curriculum in high school (although none of them were out when I was in the classes given), I feel that it may have made a very different impact on me--instead of just hyperfixating on the series because of how much I can relate to the eponymous character, maybe I wouldn't have decided to throw my mental health under the bus because I felt bad that someone who wasn't me was being bullied, because if Dreadnought were real, she'd know how to help without doing something so stupid.

Of course, Lincoln doesn't have quite the same ties to Dreadnought as Frémont does (indeed, the original name of this Act referred to the ties she has to the region: Her cousins live in Empire City (the in-universe equivalent of New York), and they're all boys), but the established books of the Nemesis trilogy are quite good, and future generations should be able to experience them.
