Someone is obviously attempting to make SciFi capitalistic. 🫤

See the Heinlein SciFi stories. 🫤

@DeWayfarer Moon is a harsh Mistress? Yes. "Mike" was what the computer was called. A contraction from Mycroft.. Adam Selene was the Persona the AI adopted..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman

“The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", "Starship Troopers” and “The Cat Who Walks Through Walls.”

Please keep in mind AI was the whole reason why I read every single Heinlein book in the 80s and 90s. 🙃

Same with Isaac Asimov.

And you couldn't get me to touch Ray Bradbury. Yes I read Fahrenheit 451. Yet it was the only Bradbury book I ever read. Required actually.

@DeWayfarer Same here. Add Arther C Clarke and a few Like Harry Harrison. What we would call the old school hard science fiction. I have everything published by Heinlein (even post mortem) and most of Asimov as well. They were the real pioneers.😷

Script - "We remind you, the moon is borderless. Many mining zones are disputed territory and considered to be in a state of war.
Please stay within the restricted, safe area…"
