Captain Fargle posted:gently caress CLAIRE. Good news, she's out of prison and ready to kick rear end for book 6! I do think the authors have some weird kind of anti-worship for nasty people, where they call them psychopaths and make them able to effortlessly clown on everyone around them at all times. Which is strange after they did Amos so well...

Murty wasn't loyal to his corporation - he was loyal to his own dream of being the Big Man making Hard Choices. He was going to live that dream even if in real life he was a jumped up security guard and the hard choices weren't necessary. He's super believable to me - just think of any basement prepper who can't wait to gun down 'looters' come the apocalypse. Marco makes sense politically. I just didn't like how easy everything seemed to him. All his rebels fell in line, Naomi was a chump until it was too late, and he stayed in smug control of everything the whole time (from the flashbacks, for his whole life even). No doubt it will be explained next novel that he was a sociopath and therefore had the magic ability to clown on everyone by not caring much about them  . Either that or his path was being cleared by like twenty different intelligence agencies who may or may not have thought he would actually push the button.

If history is anything to go by people will be travelling and trading as soon or sooner than it's remotely practical. Even with a frontier to settle people don't wall themselves off and do nothing but internal infrastructure until they're caught up to developed nations.

I think a closer comparison would be if 90% of Japan was plunged into the sea, completely destoying all infrastructure, cultural heritage and continuity with the pre war government. E: also it's all of East Asia that's destroyed instead of only Japan. Like belters and earth, most of the western population has never even seen East Asia!

That's cruel and unusual, lobbing asteroids is far more defensible in court.

Yes but 'fascism is efficient' is exactly the sort of truism the Expanse is built on. Or the more glaring 'psychopaths are magic apex predators who effortlessly own everyone'
