    There is one animated meme making the rounds now, posing the question on whether viewers would want a bucolic near-communist solarpunk future where everyone is happy and has their needs met, or a 40k future of massive mechs that can level entire cities on their own.

    I say: why not both?

    Crunchy outer shell of 40k that is just enough for a healthy defence of humanity, 90+% gooey solarpunk interior that gives everyone else a psychologically healthy and comfortable life.

    Personal spaceships commonly available?

    Lots of unusual, but generally friendly aliens?

    The Space Dandyverse wouldn’t be too horrid.

      I just hope we’re born in Culture space, rather than one of the less…forward thinking societies.

      Also plot twist: our universe is the Culture universe, we just haven’t made contact yet. I think it was shown in State of the Art

        The State of the Art and Excession are the two I haven’t gotten my hands on yet. I’m reading Matter right now and am consistently blown away by how forward thinking the author is. All of his work holds up so well.

    The Pokemon fan is probably thinking about catching Ditto and making it turn into every person they find attractive.

    I think I’d be pretty screwed. I’d most likely be living in some remote, forgotten village, trying to eke out enough of a living to pay the local lord for the privilege, while trying to avoid my home being raided by Aiel, or Seanchan, or Dragonsworn, or one of the other dozen armies roaming the countryside. Or maybe I’d be serving in one of those armies, fodder for the front lines, going up against enemies with no qualms about using the One Power for killing.

    There’s a tiny, remote chance that I could be studying in one of the schools in Cairhien or Caemlyn, trying to push technology out of the dark ages, which would be pretty cool. But that still comes with the risk of being a target of Darkfriends and the Forsaken, which is less cool.
