I’m slowly getting through This Alien Shore by C.S. Friedman. There’s some really interesting worldbuilding going on around neurodivergence and how social customs can facilitate understanding and mutual respect, but I’m a little turned off by the capitalistic, predatory, cyberpunk space opera setting, hence the slowness.
Its been a few years since I read the books, so I don’t remember any concrete examples. But for a show this focused on politics, a lot of the decisions that the factions make just arent very rational (in my opinion).
