I'm thinking about the Expanse series by James S. A. Corey, where that's exactly what happens.

And there are implications to these things.

Because, for example, living on an asteroid...

You probably wouldn't be living on the outside of it.

You live on the inside of it, because they spin, and it creates artificial gravity.

We get sort of pressed to the outside of it.

Logically, that makes a lot of sense, because we can't just live in no gravity all the time.

There's different gravities, and so those people will end up being taller and lankier, and then people might discriminate because of that.

You think of all these implications.

It sounds far-fetched, but the reaction of it is very human, isn't it?

The core really is asking big questions.

Sci-fi tends to be more philosophical and introspective than a lot of other genres, which I think leads into one of the weaknesses of the genre that it can be emotionally cold because it's so focused on concepts and ideas and it's difficult to handle concept and idea heavy books with characters that feel fully realized and

feel some sort of way about what's happening around them i actually think that that is a bit of a weakness to this book like the relationship between ryland and rocky is touching but campy it's not as important as the problem solving it's a buddy book and i'm sure it's a buddy book that's a really good way to put it yeah and i'm sure it's going to be a buddy movie

In this case...

I kind of don't care.

It worked.

That was bloody fun, right?

If that's something that's important to you, and I know that it is to a lot of people, you might not like this book.

But this is a masterclass in hard science and capital S storytelling.

Red, thanks for your time.
