Perhaps a European ideal of Libertarianism. US liberal politics is a facade of good will to hide the same pro-corporate agenda pushing that the other party does while hiding behind a facade of moral vitriol. US libertarians believe in enforcing one's own freedoms with force rather than relying on government force to defend your rights. US leftists have no political base in our elections, by design.

My voting disctrict in Omaha is megablue so it'll be a tough fight for them to get it back.

Is that... 5 AC10's in CT? Or a really weird looking RAC20?

I would suddenly feel very sad for the one of them that bottled it up for 40 years, and for the other who obviously has known for many of those years...

How about an awful shambling corpse of a book that's trying to extend the story from a satisfying ending because the publisher wants more books.

Cultural, for sure. I had to tough it out for the first bit, only really liking the detective. But then when all the main characters got replaced over and over, I began to see humanity as the main character, collectively, and then I was hooked, which I'm sure was the intent as the story spans >!all of time in the universe 2 times over,!< It's worth revisiting.

Other direction dude... 2nd dimension. Also that spoiler was for a reason.

I regularly hallucinate my code. I don't see the problem here /s

Read the book please... The trillogy* is on Audible. Some truly terrifying stuff. Like, >!living in a dying universe that was once an infinite garden because of the dark forest attacks that flattened spacetime into fewer dimensions, which could happen again.!<

*the last book (or some 4th book, I forgot) isn't written by Chixen Liu, but they liked it so much they wrote off on publishing it in the series as a means to wrap up some critical questions.

I'm looking to get inspiration for my own writing. I need a hard sci fi series where earth (and earthlike worlds) are too rare, inaccessible, and/or previously spoiled beyond ability to sustain life. Bonus points if it is set on a multi-generational space station or starship without any other options and goes into detail about life support, living space, mineral mining and expansion of the station to accomodate a growing population, and daily life of it's residents.

If anyone remembers Drifter Colonies from Titan A.E., that's what's in my head.

I'm looking for The Martian levels of realism, and I'm fine with a bit of "Unobtanium" clichés if they're not core to the story.
