Over the years I have developed

A science fiction world, first for gaming, thing YA fiction, and then started rewriting the novels for a more adult thing. So was going over the files and realized that it was still not deep enough. So here I am further developing the world, all the way to towns and people and religions. This is down to the granular level, including essays and all that.

It is fun. But it is work.

Into future history. Also using some of the worst trends as to a reason we leave Earth.

Adding some to the pseudo science behind the FTL drive, but also adding human colonies using much slower Gen Ships and solar sails.

I was a tad fuzzy on how much people would accept a creepy police state in a democracy. I now realize my five year transformation was all but off.

Oh and reading all that crap will let me develop the ministry to the granular level.

Thanks kid...magnificent inspiration.
