I kind of want to write a dystopian story about babies being bartered based on their social network rating, which of course is derived from their family history.
I'd have to go look for it but I swear there's an episode of either Next Generation or Deep Space 9 that covers almost this exact topic to the letter. Anyone else know what I'm thinking of??

- iamdave 8y agoThat's the one (lo and behold it was Voyager, after all)! Curious if that's where your mind was when you threw the idea of writing that story of yours?
- shawn 8y agoStar Trek was one of my biggest influences. I’ve been trying to think of a way to modernize the series without cannibalizing Roddenberry’s ideals. Or go the other way and do a Game of Thrones style Star Trek universe.

- dragonwriter 8y ago> Or go the other way and do a Game of Thrones style Star Trek universe. Focussing on the Klingon Empire (or the Mirror Universe Terran Empire) would let you do that without even having any tension with existing canon.
