This would be the plot if Charles Stross were to somehow find himself writing for EPU: as Surtur's computational demonologists unleash their infovores upon the World-Engine in an effort to devour all the future potentialities of Tomorrow's Son, Asgard's reality ninja corps use their solar-system sized orrery arrays to generate, and infect Corwin with, an entanglement contagion, romantically destiny-entangling him with literally everyone he has met or will meet, creating a vast immune system-slash-labyrinth that renders him damn near invincible to attacks generated by metaphysical information warfare.
