I love this book. Tore me apart in the best ways. I had to put it down and just sit with the end of a chapter a few times. It's so amazing when a story can do that!

The problem with modern science fiction is that soooo much of it is built around the concept that technology is inherently evil, isolating, and brain numbing. You can see these themes as far back as the 1940s-1960s with telephones, radios, typewriters, etc. Hell, I bet it dates back to the Victorian era and the creation of the genre. Horror stories predate sci-fi so it could go all the way back to the invention of movable type. But the thing is, instead of “smart phones will turn us into mindless drones,” we could he exploring really cool themes. Like, the Mars Rover sings to itself. So, why is there no post human extinction book about the very last surviving robot who’s terrified because it is left all alone and comforts itself by singing to itself? Why are we not telling more stories about a society where we automatically accommodate the disabled with cool cyberpunk style accessibility tools, artificial limbs, etc. I don’t want more fictional stories about people dying because they can’t afford water or medication in the post apocalyptic society since that’s already happening right now. I want a futuristic mystery where the hero uses social media to track down and stop the killer/protect potential victims. *sigh* rant over.

i do really like modern trek for the most part but god i wish the aesthetics and fashion were less blatantly modern. give me fun patterns! sparkly fabrics! impractical architecture! eyeshadow! like sure it's camp and fun and visually interesting but it's also a sign of worldbuilding. if the characters are in a post-utopian society of course they're spending time on constantly reinventing impractical fashions. you can counter it with the supremely practical and simple styles from characters without the Federation post-utopian privilege. give us some alien fashions that illustrate cultural differences that don't look like they came off of a high end fashion catalogue.

(also this is about live action trek, don't worry lower decks and prodigy, you're doing great)

Turns out most major drinkware brands don't take suggestions/design partnerships. (Yes I am on Stanleys administrative email block list)
