people who complain about scientific accuracy in a Sci-Fi world are very 💀
being a science person i love how people can have their own interpretations of modern technology and the future, and half of what keeps me reading is the distinctly recognizable but subtly different setting that is the world.
a lot of sci-fi-ish things these days would also attempt to bring into play how certain major disasters affected the time in between ours and theirs, and it has a huge impact on plot. here, instead, the plot is focused on the characters themselves so far, which feels a lot more engaging than just story points.
