Doesn't need to be explicitly political can just be vibes. I'm just getting very tired of every main character being either a gruff rugged individualist or a bazinga nerdy individualist. Thanks

    he's a demsoc through and through like old school kind not just a succdem with a red coat of paint. his future sci-fi stuff is FALGSC as hell but his modern day works are very, very lib.

      yeah thats a good description of his politics I think.

      Also I dont know if you have read it but, Green Earth (I think its a newish rework+compilation of some of his older stuff) was a absolute slog to get through, I fucking hate the main character smh

        i have little love for any of his characters. like there's some memorable ones from the mars trilogy and i felt some connection to Sax as his brain rebooted and he after he was tortured and became a different kind of neuroatypical but that's it. i tried reading 2312 but didn't like any of the characters. it sucks because his world building is superb and kind of inspirational
