Right on, ill go find a copy. The philisophical stuff was great but i just got a hunger for more shooty spacemen, weird aliens and relativity fuckery. Hell right now Id sit down and read just a timeline of what all happened on earth in those thousandish years.

forever peace has no aliens and very little sci fi fuckery and isnt set in the same world

its a more grounded story about attaining partial post-scarcity and living within the violence of people leveraging that over others and pacifism

the only real connection is the author and the general theme of "war bad"
