- ceejayoz 2y agoNot really the point. Musk names his ships after the Culture, but the author was an avowed left-wing socialist who'd probably see Musk as our version of Veppers. He was... not a huge fan of billionaire oligarchs.
- mdhen 2y agoThe culture as an aspirational goal is a good thing. It's a fantastic vision of the future. So I'm not sure why you're using it as a similar comparison to neuromancer.
