Now¶

2^nd of September, 2026:

Currently, I'm reading Leviathan Wakes — the first book in The Expanse series. The series is set in a distant future where humanity has leapt into space and spread itself out across the Solar System and even beyond.

I love it for the same reasons that I loved Star Trek: Enterprise and For All Mankind: It takes a serious look at what space exploration and colonisation might be like, rather than presenting a utopian, idealist vision of the future. In the series, humans in space ultimately still deal with the same political, social, and economic problems that they do on Earth nowadays.
