As a fan of both Charles Stross and Richard k Morgan (of Altered Carbon fame) I was completely surprised to find out that the tech nerd turned out to be a cool lefty, and the guy I thought was cool turned out to be a lib dem
As it happens I was just watching the show, and the earlier comment didn't make quite clear who was who so I did a little digging, and, well, apparently Morgan is worse than just a lib dem... (CW: transphobia)
You'd think that the guy who wrote 3 novels about people switching bodies would have a better understanding of trans people. I'll continue to not pay money for his books

Didn't know that about Morgan, after reading the 3rd book I thought he was more of a revolutionary
IIRC Doctorow was raised by Trotskyites and went through a brief libertarian phase around the dot-com boom, now he's probably a rad-lib
Stross was interviewed on the Trash Future podcast, it's a good one
I also didn't know it, but I followed the guy on Twitter and his takes during the recent elections were, well he's a liberal Democrat voter.

Oof, that "However"

Glad to see Charlie supporting trans rights
