So basically the liberal-Marxist globalist-communists have taken over the US government. Yep. Art imitating life.

I never knew how much I wanted The Last Starship until now

quote:

The Last Starship From Earth is a dystopian novel set in 1968 and 1969, but not the 1968 and 1969 that I remember, or lived through. In the world of this story, Jesus did not die on the cross, but was killed leading an assault on Rome. He was the Messiah that people expected. The government of John Boyd’s world is a global government run by Christians along “scientific” lines, where psychologists and sociologists in conjunction with the Church and an AI Pope rule the world. People marry and mate because of their genes, sort of like the film Gattaca, and the hero of our story is Haldane IV, M-5, 138270, 3/10/46, a math student of great promise, being the fourth in line of great mathematicians. Unfortunately Haldane gets the hots for Helix, a mere poet. By law and social custom Haldane is expected to have nothing to do with her, but as you’d expect he falls in love with her.


This sounds like a helluva concept for Netflix to take up for a new sci-fi show. AI loving popes man, too loving cool.

Either the showrunners are complete idiots, or they're duplicitous masterminds.
