The Expanse really hooks you in, doesn't it? Hamilton, too. I never know what to read from him next. They're great fun (and really strong writing), even if not everything comes true. I think that's part of the fun. I love older books that are set in the 2020s or nearby. Like hearing someone talking about you. I'm realizing now I haven't read Misspent Youth. Too many books, much too little time.
That makes sense. We keep asking where and how people are gonna work when many jobs become obsolete thanks to AI. But we only look to Earth, and that's fair. Fear always makes people short-sighted. I'm glad Belters wouldn't have it so bad, at least at first. I'm glad there might be hope :)
You should definitely read Misspent Youth. Its quite short and I think you'll find it very interesting.
