<p>I've been reading "Tiamat's Wrath", the eighth book of the <a href="/tags/expanse/" rel="tag">#expanse</a> series, and while the entire universe seems to provide the most plausible projection for a future equilibrium in which today's broligarchs get at least 65% of what they want, this book—describing a galaxy in which humanity finally thought it had reached some sort of peace after generations of conflict are now confronted with the the imposition of velvet-hammer galactic authoritarianism, seems the most relevant to where we are now.</p><p>(note: I _haven't_ finished it; no spoilers please! It's like one of the few cases in which I can currently take pleasure in escapism at the moment)</p><p>1/?</p>
