The trends over the last decades have been pushing further and further into what authors love to call “realism” — but is more a dark, bleak outlook where there’s no hope.

DS9 And… Personal Property Rights?
I’m watching through Star Trek Deep Space 9 with the family and I was shocked to see an episode, “Progress” where the Bajoran government an the Federation come in to try to steal a man’s farm for “the good of the people.” The man refuses to read, and interestingly, throughout the epsiode, he’s portrayed as […]
