Isn't that what Battestar Galactica and especially Caprica detail? Not that they're a research or high-brow look at that question, but all the same.

- jacques_chester 14y agoI honestly don't know, I never watched BSG. Was it set in early imperial Rome with particular reference to a fairly famous Jewish rabbi?
- mburns 14y agoIt takes a lot of cues from Mormon dogma, actually. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_and_mythological_references_in_Battlestar_Galactica http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_and_mythological_refe... The show's premise is an space-faring, industrialized, polytheistic society are surprised-attacked (and devastated, only a small band of humans survive) by Cylons, a sentient, monotheistic 'terrorist' group.
- jacques_chester 14y agoAh, I see. I think it's a different premise though. The novel is about an uncontested superpower dealing with asymmetric conflict. BSG seems to be more of a classic symmetric war to me.
- jimktrains2 14y agoCaprica is more on the terrorist end of things where the BSG reboot is more of a normal war/in fighting/search and destroy premise.
- aviraldg 14y agoNow that you mention it, it matches up exactly with Caprica's plotline!
- jacques_chester 14y agoI decided to look it up on Wikipedia. As best as I can make out they have basically nothing in common except the polytheist/monotheist division between characters.
