I just started your new serial. It looks like fun! I wrote a short serial inspired by a science crackpot who turned up at my office. I was so annoyed at myself for being polite to him that I wrote this to get over it. https://fictionalaether.substack.com/p/a-scientists-revenge-1
Also, have to say it’s a little scary having an actual physicist reading Ship of Fools! My one physics pal isn’t into fiction so he didn’t take up my request to be a beta reader. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts and hope I didn’t screw anything up too badly.
“To be fair, the field of sustainable architecture is in serious need of some new ideas. The old ideas were no match for a sustained drone attack.” - hilarious use of a footnote.
I’m looking forward to how this academic internecine warfare turns out!
Already a fan of the dedicated post grad students. 😁
Not so much Sydney and Melbourne burning.
Sorry about that. Between that and the entire US and Europe under dictatorial rule, I’ve probably alienated 90% of potential readers…
You wiped out most of our population in a sentence. 😂
Another sci-fi satire! Nice!
I hope you enjoy it!

Haha! So far I was impressed with how you summarised a sizeable chunk of the philosophy of science with two cowboys.
"but back here was the real tragedy: mass academic redundancies."
I almost screamed in terror!
