Two or your comments are "SCI-FI_AUTHOR's world incoming". I must be missing something. This is supposed to be related? Funny? Perhaps you can take the time to explain what you mean.

Have you read moral philosophy or political economy? I'm not saying these are the only way to approach the ideas, but at least these provide a common ground for discussion.

You might want to read something other than YA polemics written in the '60s and '70s. I recommend China Miéville.

I guess I just didn't think references to Avancs and Grindylow and Mosquito people to be all that relevant to the discussion. But to your point, I have read some Mieville.
