Amber Bobbles

A lot of the parallel universe in Fringe is reminiscent of "The Peace War" by Vernor Vinge. The first thing that tipped me off was the episode where the twin breaks his brother out of the amber, and the evil fringe people say that they're aware the people are just in stasis and that people would revolt if people knew they could break their loved ones out. After that, I noticed that the other world's Fringe Division is a lot like The Peace Authority in Vinge's book (Fringe, Vinge, coincidence? I think not). Good stuff!
