Really love this show. It's not perfect and some of the plot decisions I could criticise, but it's one of the best #scifi TV shows I've seen. Great characterisation and brilliantly conceived #AltHistory
Current working theory is that in the Star Trek timeline, Trumpy's insurrection was successful and he held power in 2020, which is why sanctuary zones for the homeless were so common they generated the Bell Riots by 2024.
And obviously his foreign policy fuckery accelerated the push for Irish Reunification.
Green Mars by #KimStanleyRobinson (1993) - 2nd book of a trilogy on how #Mars colonization would actually go down. Think underground scientist communes, multinational mining corpos, abused space migrant labour. It's dense but KSR is one of the best living scifi authors.
Everfair by Nisi Shawl (2016) - #steampunk#AltHistory of armed resistance against King Leopold II in the late 1800s. Love the premise, but not loving the detached prose. 1/🧵
