Somewhat disappointed that this episode (or the comment episode) makes no mention of Project Itoh's award-nominated SF novel Genocidal Organ. That book is possibly another perspective on the same idea but without so much linguist hogwash as it deals with the ideas mentioned in MGSV but without the trapping of specially, say, English. I say another perspective because Project Itoh and Kojima/MGS is intrinsically linked

It's not to knock books like Snow Crash and others that brought up the idea about the power of language in a SF/fantasy setting, but this one has a lot more to do with the geopolitical nature of language (especially one that resonates with Japanese readers, perhaps--Genocidal Organ is one of the best selling SF novels in Japan in the 00s), and I bet Kojima's read it...
The book is now available in English via Viz/Haikasoru

Yeah, it's not like any other LN but once you start reading, you can't put it down. Also, you can also check out Genocidal Organ and Harmony. Even though they are not really a hard sci-fi like Qualia, they are both great read and have anime movie adaption.
