I'm reading Astrotopia by Mary-Jane Rubenstein and it's just amazing. I don't usually make it through books that are on depressing topics like the destruction of orbit, but this book is fascinating and real while also being completely hilarious. Like, I have laughed out loud multiple times while reading it and I'm only halfway through.
It's all about how the "NewSpace" tech bro billionaire are using the language of manifest destiny and see themselves as end-of-the-world prophets. Wowee.
