If Europe is not a myth, apparently it is a far off and isolated land, only reachable brave sailing ships or something. Scotophobia says at one point "Trying to get information out of Europe right now is becoming almost impossible." Perhaps with luck some early steam ships are running and we'll have more fulsome news in a few weeks
(I get it, they have a word count, so can't cover everything in detail. It was just that line that cracked me up. After all, Europe is part of the matrix, connected to the same hosts, etc. Multiple Jackpointers from Europe, and many of the rest have contacts there. So why would it be harder to get information from there than anywhere else?)
ETA: to be clear, I love Scotophobia overall, it is one of my favourite ShadowRun books as a GM. But I can love it, and still see some little issues.
