Wow, so a couple people who breathlessly believed the hype and would have been at risk of being part of the first wave of settlers if they lived maybe 100 years from now did a shred of research about what colonization literally is and is like, and realized that it's so much more complicated and worse than the state-sponsored story about what colonization looks like, and that doing that all over again in space would be so much more complicated and in many ways worse than on Earth, and the upshot of the story of the book is that these people only just now learned anything about this subject, and I'm supposed to want to give them THIRTY DOLLARS for the privilege of reading what amounts to a college-level book report that doesn't offer anything that hasn't been extensively reported and discussed already?
Can I write entire books about ridiculously uncontroversial things and charge more than thirty bucks for it, too?
