The Culture is the future I want, the polity is the one I could accept. Asher world builds literally better than anyone I know - his aliens feel truly alien.

The Hooder is straight out of nightmare fuel.
- pcthrowaway 5y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Culture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Culture for anyone who hasn't heard of it. Sounds like an unlikely, but possible future.
- noir_lord 5y agoAye which is why of the two I think the Polity would be the more likely outcome given human nature. The Polity universe is technologically comparable to the Culture but in almost every other way darker, grittier and dirtier. There are quite a few parallels between them though - enough that if you love one you'll at least like the other.
