stars struggle life-is
All life is a struggle for existence. Why should it cease to be a struggle if it spreads among the stars?
optimistic thinking long
I'm a long-term optimist, and I don't think the problems with our society are from being overly optimistic.
war character men
I enjoyed Old Man's War immensely. A space war story with fast action, vivid characters, moral complexity and cool speculative physics, set in a future you almost want to live into, and a universe you sincerely hope you don't live in already.
country kings children
Hey, this is Europe. We took it from nobody; we won it from the bare soil that the ice left. The bones of our ancestors, and the stones of their works, are everywhere. Our liberties were won in wars and revolutions so terrible that we do not fear our governors: they fear us. Our children giggle and eat ice-cream in the palaces of past rulers. We snap our fingers at kings. We laugh at popes. When we have built up tyrants, we have brought them down. And we have nuclear ********* weapons.
what-if impossible socialism
What if capitalism is unsustainable, and socialism is impossible?
