There is a LOT to unpack here (several puns intended)

Relactical

The beanbag chair is sending me. Looks like someone in their gamer cave.

Absolutely my favorite sci fi series (tied with Three Body Problem actually) of all time and I'm a 40 year old nerd, I was reading Asimov when I was like 13.

Thanks for skimming it for me because no way was I reading that shit, the next several years gonna be wild

That matt quote keeps being right lol. Today is the dumbest day in US history only to be surpassed by every subsequent day of US history.

You should consider checking out the books. I watched the first two seasons when they came out and I couldn't wait so I bought the books, and I am so glad I did because the series ended up getting canceled before the final trilogy could be adapted.

There is definitely some residual libness in the political intrigue but I quite liked it and the whole commentary on the belters being analogous to exploitation of the global south was solid for pulp sci fi if still very surface level.

It also has so many great characters. Amos and Miller are some of my favorite fictional characters ever written.

That said even though it got cancelled and we missed out on a few really amazing setpieces from the final books, it had a satisfying enough conclusion for season 6.

Corporate personhood and its consequences

I mean that stuff wouldn't emerge for the next couple decades, but you can certainly see where the capitalist vampires saw it and went "damn that looks real efficient, bet if we made a privatized version we'd make more money than god".

Of course as we know it was only so efficient because of its socialized nature which made such supply chains less prone to disruption as the computational power could be used to centrally monitor supply chains between all sorts of different nationalized industries, that could then be allocated in an agile manor so as to minimize any one industry or population running out of materials or basic needs. It was so efficient materials could even be reallocated mid route. It was a really sophisticated system and could serve as a blueprint for large scale socialized economies.

It's great, it goes further into how post coup the nascent proto-neolib ghouls went down to examine cybersyn and essentially stole the whole idea behind it which eventually became the model for just in time supply chains at places like amazon and walmart. Oh what could have been.

I don't care that you have only a flimsy grasp of Marxism at best, or are a bad faith troll, we get those all the time. You're not even fun just repetitive and boring. I would ban you just for being a smug little shit.
