Yes, excellent points to observe that there's no substitute for domain expertise, and I agree with you on good and water being important. I guess our sf has made space travel more exciting than any water or food related themes, which are aren't exciting as trips to Mars or traveling the galaxy meeting interesting beings.
I guess there are some good dystopias out there, and some royal political fuck-ups that make you start thinking there really is "evil" if you didn't before: Flint, Michigan.

I hope some like minded sf writers popularize this genre in near future (I don't read sf but a cursory look at it seems space exploration is favored a lot, probably next only to (and intertwined with) time travel).
