Since nothing in this community is about technology we might as well talk about science fiction. (lemmy.world)

All the stories on the FP are about labor relations and corporate shenanigans. So anyway, do you like Star Trek or Star Wars better? Anybody still ike to read old school sci fi, for example I really love Poul Anderson's Polesotechnic League stories - the swashbuckling adventures of intersteller trador Nicholas van Rijn and his Solar Spice and Liquors company, David Falkayne, et al. Good old basic space opera.

He's fun reading, though being a woman I also find his stuff kinda sexist. It's basically cowboys in space.

I mostly read sci-fi from the late Golden Age and the New Wave, so I have a lot of practice in glossing over questionable bits!

Cowboys in space sounds fun.
