Review: The Terraformers, by @annaleen, wants to talk about social stratification

The Terraformers, by Annalee Newitz, wants to talk about social stratification

A speculative fiction author has four jobs: 1. Imagination. Find us a fresh lens. Show us a place we’ve never been, or a perspective on the mundane that we’ve never seen. Inject tangible energy into our imagination systems. 2. Timely insight. Help us understand our world in this

@danilo I always thought of the cadre of San Francisco asshats who were usually “managing” us from 3000 miles away as absentee landlords.

@danilo nothing against remote management. My best manager to date was 3 time zones away and never in person.
