I'm reading like 3 books concurrently. One of them I just finished is a classic sci-fi book, "Hyperion."
I still really like the world building through 7 strangers' stories. But the craziest thing I found, this world CANNOT exist without hard money.
Most sci-fi authors ignore economics but he's describing people "hopping" through time by traveling at light speed. One guy is coming back to the same place every 11ish years.
How would any company be able to pay a worker for that if there was someone in control of the money printer? It would be like forcing someone to buy a 10-year Treasury bond. It wouldn't work.
SullyRoberts (npub1yx5…uumh) once you finish your current book...I think sci-fi needs a new voice as well.
