Looking forward to your next post, Erika. I became a great fan of the TV show "The Expanse" (maybe some day I will begin to read the books too). It has a lot of interesting topics to discuss like propulsion (Epstein drive), solar system colonization, Mining, Ethics about the belters, for instance. I like the vision of the future from John Bernal (The World, the Flesh and The Devil), and Tsiolkovsky too...ideas from 1920s, all of them so fascinating.

Oh yes, The Expanse is definitely on my list. It comes up so frequently in conversations about labor rights in space, in particular. Thanks!

I would love to see some discussion on Becky Chambers' Wayfarers series. I can never talk about those books enough. Octavia Butler's Xenogenesis series is also great in a very different way.

I love Becky Chambers' Wayfarers series! They're especially refreshing amid all the dystopian-heavy sci-fi these days. I just read the Xenogenesis books last year, and agree that they're also great, although they dive deep into other kinds of technology ethics. Thanks for the recommendations!
