Hyperion: The Ousters and the Living Dyson Sphere
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 09. 2019
- The Ousters varied widely in culture, and physiology because they had adapted to the environments of many different worlds. The Ousters developed a number of augmentations allowing them to become more suitable for the environments in which they lived. Some appear mostly human, except for elongated and animal-like limbs, some have webbed fingers or coats of fur. All of these differences are genetically superficial, however. All Ousters are in fact human and have the potential to reproduce with other humans within the galaxy.

Thanks For Watching!
Simmons true genius is the Ousters. Though human they may be, their appearance, way of life, and civilization are one of the most alien I have ever read of in a lifetime of reading science fiction. The description of the Ouster Swarm in book two is magical.
Okay, you've convinced me. I need to read the Hyperion Cantos. Thank you for another great video.
Read it yet ;D ?
Fantastic book series. Very well written with wonderful descriptions of the worlds, deep emotional connections and human relations. I hope to see it come alive some day in a very well done (HBO quality) and well funded multi-part series.
The first book is an undisputed classic, and the rest are no slouches either.
@@hardnewstakenharder i love the first 2, but the endymion ones are my favorites
@@strumptavianroboclick5596 :)
The dichotomy between Ouster and Hegemony spacefaring/evolutionary philosophy is something that I think about quite often. I recall how shocked I was when it was first revealed in the text that they were human that merely had a difference in philosophy. So fascinating!
I'm a new subscriber. Read Dune, Hyperion, and Foundation series 20 years ago and loved them back then and will love them forever. Thanks for the great content
Carla Acosta I love the hyperion canto’s. it’s amazingly beautiful
I've read Dune, I'm nearing the end of the last book of the Foundation series, and just today I picked up a copy of Hyperion from the bookstore to read next.
I found Hyperion thanks to song by Keldian
Dude. If I ever write a book, I'm sending you a copy! You are the best sci-fi and fantasy hype man in the business. You are the ONLY youtuber I have the notifications on for.
I can help you with that if you need some new material. EckhardtsLadder is the guy you are looking for.
Excellent analysis. I think that's the point that Dan Simmons was trying to make; that humanity had sort of frozen in their development, stopped progressing because they controlled the environment by imposing an antiquated kind of technology. The Ousters used a different technology to adapt to their various environments--but stilled retained a connection to the kinds of environments in which mankind had originally developed. The Ousters loved trees and organic structures as much as any human--but they were willing to adapt their lifestyle to the lifeless environment of deep space. (Deep space isn't really "lifeless." The organic components for life are everywhere we look in the vast gas and dust clouds between the galaxies and the stars.)
We can't overlook the influence of the TechnoCore on these differences, though. As you pointed out, the Ousters refused to use the farcaster technology and instead preferred either sublight transports or Hawking Drive spinships which still required a large "time-debt" travelling between stars. Consequently, the TechnoCore couldn't parasitically utilize their brains, their neurons, as co-processors. Every time a Hegemony citizen stepped through a farcaster, there was a time-less interval when the Core could leech off their neuronal capacity and use it for whatever purpose those AI's wished. As Aenea noted, the Core was hyper-hyper-parasitical; fantastically competitive even among themselves because they had no real existence outside the Void Which Binds, the manifold reality of Planck Space. The farcasters used Planck Space to link different worlds and every time a citizen stepped through a farcaster portal, the Core could effectively use their storage and processing capability for an infinite duration, even though it SEEMED instantaneous to the citizen.
The Ousters refused to do that because they could sense that it punched holes in the Void Which Binds at a deeply fundamental level. It created a disturbance, a kind of static or ripple effect that resonated throughout the Void and interfered with the existence of the species which inhabited it, the Lions, Tigers, and Bears. So, to the Core, the Ousters were the Enemy because they couldn't be used, couldn't be controlled. The Core encouraged warfare between the Ousters and the Hegemony because they wanted to eliminate what they perceived as a threat.
And my God, did they pay the price! I almost wept when the StarTree came under attack and huge portions of it were destroyed when the Pax warships began burning it and blowing it up. Millions of beautiful, unique sentient beings died and the greatest human artifact ever created was horribly damaged.
Y'know, I've never hated the Catholic Church so much as I did when I read the Cantos. For the last two thousand years, the Church has been responsible for so much bloodshed and suffering, the sole cause of all the wars in Europe from about AD 800 up to the 19th Century. Simmons just extrapolated the trend. If the Church could offer a real-time version of immortality, serial resurrection via the cruciform parasite--another hand-dandy invention of the Core--then it could control EVERY aspect of human existence, exactly what the Church has done here on Earth for over a thousand years. A pox on the Pax!
The USA was settled by predominantly protestant, 'puritan' christians who despised catholics. Plenty of protestants in Canada, Australia and New Zealand as well. South Africa? Mmm. Protestants have proved themselves to be every bit as violent, ruthless and sadistic and as controlling as any catholic anywhere. They enacted genocide on the Native Americans. They enthusiastically traded in African slaves. So did catholics. The entire European colonial era, where Europeans invaded everyone else's countries and stole their assets, actually occurred from the point of the Reformation ie when Europeans began to break free from the dictates of the pope.
I'm not aware the pope had the power to cause the numerous invasions of Europe by Ottoman Turks between 1300 and 1900. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, nope. Maybe read a few factual books rather than fiction.
Yes man! More Hyperion content! This is a series I could talk about and live in for the rest of my life.
Would love to see you cover more Hyperion Cantos. It's honestly one of the most intriguing sci-fi settings out there.
I spend this!
Qwatz! Please do more Hyperion, especially the Technocore.
lmao "Quatz"!
Corn.
Please do
QWATZ! NOW YOU HAVE HEARD UMAN’s STORY
Man, your channel really has been making strides to improve and come into itself lately. I appreciate your great content, don't stop here!
Much more interesting than GOT. Keep going and thank you.
I bought Hyperion the other day because of you, so ill binge all your Hyperion videos soon.
At ~4:50 it's mentioned that the Ousters only used 'conventional' methods of space travel. I would hardly call the Hawking Drive conventional as it is described as skipping off the void which binds' (as to farcasters which punch holes) to travel FTL. The Ousters saw it as a necessary evil.
This is a point which struck me every time when I read Hyperion...that plottwist, that the ousters are the ones who are evolving. Very deep and interesting assumption from Mr Simmons. Thanks for the cool vid!! Cheers from Germany!
Thanks for mentioning Olaf Stapledon. A friend introduced me to his literature about 30 years ago. It is unfortunate that most people never heard of him. You could take one paragraph from one of his books and turn that paragraph into a book. I suspect many of the great sci-fi writers of the 20th century did exactly that.
I love the videos. The Dune & Hyperion series are my favorite science fiction books and I’m really enjoying your deep dives into both of them. Keep up the great work!😀
Two best Sci-Fi series. Star Wars is the shit but it's Fantasy in a sci-fi setting.
You have a great voice for this type of content!
Great Stapleton reference. A series on the Human subspecies from his works would be great.
Ive read the book years ago but the beauty of the Yggdrasil and the chapter where the pilgrims spend time on it is one of the most amazing worldbuilding pieces of sci fi I ever have read.
Literally the only pretty scene was the one where they sat on the table and had their first introduction. The whole tree ship nonsense is hilariously bad. And also more just straight up fantasy than anything sci fi.
The cnt doesn't even describe if the ship flies horizontal or vertical
I can get behind samurai monks worshipping trees. I stop at them flying literal trees into space
@@godofchaoskhorne5043 Yeah, the entirety of the Hyperion series' prose is pretty uninspired. I found it difficult to imagine anything Simmons was attempting to describe even at the best of times. It hardly helped that the story was nonsensical. While the Shrike is interesting, pretty much everything around it isn't. Hyperion is definitely overhyped.
@@VexJinks Mate, I can go on for ages on how much I hated the prose in that book. Dan Simmons can go Lapis Lazuri himself
But yeah it's headscartching how the books are so well reviewed when none of it makes sense and is full of plot holes and very poor allegories. Not to mention this guy genuinely thinks he's this deep philosopher and thinks that "I get it now, God wasn't testing Abraham, Abraham was testing God." Is super profound when it's dumb and complete nonsense.
The good guys are space furries and insectoid humans.
Akad and the Jewish girl are an allegory for Israël and Palestine. Akad is a "good'one" all the worlds are fine except the Muslim worlds = Nuclear Jihad lol
Magic digital alternate dimension / extended AI network .. that is a jungle full of bears and lions that are dangerous AI or some dumb sh.
The answer to everything is love
Both books end with the cast singing a song together. The second book they sing somewhere over the rainbow. I almost threw my ereader against a wall for wasting my time bothering to read the second one
Thank you, I am very familiar with Dune and Hyperion. I love your channel. You certainly are indepthly familiar with these literary universes. These novels are so smart by themselves its fun to delve into them in detail. Great Job!
I want to thank you for promoting this book series, on book two and loving it.
I love how much you go over the Hyperion series. It is my favorite sci Fi, for sure. I grew up on Heinlein; I'm sure you can tell by my screen name😉
Great video, IOIAF. I'm really glad you're covering Dan Simmons' Hyperion and Endymion books. Keep up the great work.
I haven't read the Hyperion Cantos in a while now, but because you're doing this, I'm starting to read them again. Thanks!
You should read some of the Revelation Space books by Alastair Reynolds. Particularly the Inhibitors Sequence, a trilogy in this order; Revelation Space, Redemption Ark, Absolution Gap. I'd also read Chasm City between part 1 and 2 of that trilogy just because it's so good and prepares you for what happens in part 2.
You need to audition to narrate some major documentaries; you have an amazing and unique voice. I look forward to someday hearing you narrate a National Geographic or Animal Planet documentary. You have the voice for it.
Been watching your work for a while. Just want to say, thanks for all this amazing content. Seriously, in my circles no one cares about this material and your channel is an intellectual and imaginative refuge sometimes. Just signed up for your Patreon!
You're brilliant, Kiddo! Love your work!!
I’ve never read these, but I love your videos, the exploration of all this Lore is fascinating, and definitely makes me want to delve into the Hyperion universe
Wow, you make Hyperion videos, too!?? Not enough Hyperion love (in my opinion) on YT. Glad to see you're making some awesome videos of the Hyperion Cantos, too. Love that series.
I don't necessarily think the Ousters would cease to be human - they just wouldn't be sapiens anymore. In much the same way that sapiens and neanderthalis were human species, Ousters would just be other forms. It's a magnificent idea, even without the phenomenal description of their cultures.
Really loving the new content. Keep up the good work man
im sooo happy you moved into dune and other sci fi fantasy.....cause i just cant deal with GOT at this point. GRRM will NEVER finish the books while alive...im over it...20 years plus of waiting..and pift..who cares anymore.
Same
All we can hope for is that he’s actually already finish winds and is working on finishing A Dream For Spring so they can release the last two books back to back fingers crossed 🤞🏻 Sadly I don’t think that the case. We’ll get winds for sure but as far as A Dream For Spring goes we really may never get it sadly...
@@beesheer3761 I am not convinced he knows how to finish the series, so having backed himself into a corner with saying there are two books left he now doesn't know how to get there in that timeframe
@@tylerreed2409 exactly
After The Wheel of Time and GOT, I am done with fantasy books that have a chapter for each single midly important person in the world and thus will need 10 books to finish a story that could be told in 3.
Imho, it's actually bad writing when you are not able to summarize and to tell histories from the point of view of fewer characters, who thus either hear from second hand accounts events happening in other places, or by letters, etc.
Take Coleen Mc Cullough's Masters of Rome series... it starts in 104 BC and ends with Octavian becoming Augustus.
The real Roman history is much more complex and full of events and characters than any Wheel of Time or GOT book. Many events are summarized as letters sent by characters in other places, telling the news. It's very good and it gives a good impression how people of the time would hear of news in other provinces of Rome....
Incredible and High Quality Work. Thanks Once Again both the detailed work and discourse on a great series by Dan Simmons.
Now how about a Hawkins Drive video?
3:12 well...well...well...looks like mass effect had some inspiration from somewhere...lol
Quinn, you should narrate an audiobook, mate. I love listening to your voice in the background.
Thank you so much for this! The Hyperion cantos is my favourite book series, so glad someone is talking about it!
Have u thought about doing audiobooks? I freakin' love your narration mate.
This was a great video and thank you for finally backing the camera up some.
Ah. Another video from one of the most underrated channels on youtube. Have you considered recording audio books?
Thanks for introducing me to Fred Augis art!
Great vids. I have bad reading Comp. so I think I missed half of this stuff when I read the books.
So, I am subbing the shit out of this channel. Stuck in the second book. Need guidance. Thank you man.
Really enjoy the videos about these books. I will most likely get them. On a side note, have you read any of the warhammer 40k books? I believe making content about them would expand your viewer base.
Love your high quality commentary. Even though I have never read any of those books, I feel so entertained by your videos.
Great content again. I have to read this series. I love the foils the hegemony of man and the outsters represent toward each other, THOM seems to still do what humans have always done...change the environment to suite their needs but remaining the same. While the outsters are adapting themselves to suite their environment and becoming more than human.
I wanted you to know that your channel inspired me to read all the Isaac Asimov books and the dune series. Your videos made the worlds so interesting I couldn't resist. Thank you for all you amazing work. I wish I would have had more English teachers like you, I would have learned to love books much earlier in life.
I think it was a blend between a Dyson Sphere and a Dyson Tree. Anyway the ousters were a great play on the Pantropia concept, Spomes (Asimov) and Macrolife (Cole). They were what got me interested in the Cantos.
hey man thanks for making these just found you last night been bingeing your channel
Just found your channel, so excited to share the cantos.
Dude, you’re one of the very few people I have notifications On. The material(s) and presentations is second to none. THUMBS UP!
Your videos helped me get through Dune. So glad to see you have Hyperion content!
As someone who's been on a journey of self reflection these last few months, and as someone who recently started Hyperion, I think the Ousters are going to be my favourite. They embraced change, they embraced space, and it seems for that, the universe has seen fit to gift them with a flawless sense of development, allowing them to not just navigate the stars, but evolution itself.
I want to compliment you. You do a fantastic job. Thank you for bringing these synopses excerpt to us! It's super top notch!
Thank you for all the videos you produce. Also you should look into voice acting.
Hey, have you read the expanse? I think a video from you about it would be cool
@Hrenml they moved from Netflix to Amazon prime, both the books and tv are phenomenal.
One of the factions can be seen as the beginning of the ousters for the Hyperion books.
@@martienvandenberg5181
Ah the belters.
@@martienvandenberg5181 similar but different. I always felt the belters are treated as being on the edge of obsolescence.
@@chrishodgson3567 Doesn't that also count for the Ousters in Hyperion?
@@martienvandenberg5181 not how I interpreted it to be honest. The ousters are initially portrayed as boogmen of sorts then later you get to see their progression as a truly space faring species. While the belters and even the Martians are painted with a ticking clock once the gates are open Imo.
Totally open to your ideas about it.
Thank you for introducing this series to me. I would never have known about it if it weren't for your video on the Shrike. I just finished the series yesterday. The ending was beautiful, melancholic and sad, and the story of Aenea and Raul will be in my thoughts for a long time. I'm still feeling emotional from it. It hit me HARD (even harder than the ending of His Dark Materials). This is such an expansive and creative universe. I think Dan Simmons has an amazing imagination. I know it's blasphemy on this channel but I think The Hyperion cantos is so much better than Dune. It's better written, more emotional and far less pretentious.
One future scenario at worry about, is one were humans decide to stay on Earth, and not explore space. I see this as a bleak Future , Because as a species we are meant to Explore and Evolve and Discover. If we stay on Earth will become nihilistic and rigid and bored and Dull and eventually will go extinct.
I couldnt have said it better.
Plus the sun will actually destroy all life as we would ever know it.
@@VengeanceN7 We probably wouldn't live long enough to see it
You need to cover Ringworld & Known Space by Larry Niven.
Greg egans diaspora covers new ground too
Finally started reading the first Hyperion book thanks to your videos, I am at the part where they are reading the journals of the priest and I am sold on this series. I can already see bits of why you hold it in high regard
I love that purple backlight or purple bricks. Very cool
I love your videos. Do you ever talk about single novels that aren't these huge world-building series? I would love to hear you discuss Bester's "The Stars My Destination" for example. Regardless, thanks! Your content is fantastic.
I might buy those books now, will look them up on Amazon in kindle or paperback vers. Good vid.
Bruh you look like Mos Def playing Ford in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy! Not even hating though, you knocked that shit out of the park.
I think you could improve you delivery when reading from a script, it feels robotic.
Other than that, great video as always, really happy you are covering hyperion.
Ann leckies ancillary series deals with intergalactic government super well. And furthee introduces interesting division between human groups after the first trilogy
I love this! I’ve been looking for these kind of videos for the Hyperion Cantos.
I'm a new subscriber too! Thanks for your work man.
Fun fact: Hyperion Cantos contains the only other usage of the word weirwood outside of ASOIAF.
Great video! Love the channel. Happy new year!
I enjoy your content, and have for several months. You have a rare voice and an excellent grasp of your chosen subject matter. BTW, the mass required to create a Dyson Sphere would likely exceed the materials available in a solar system, making their existance very improbable. Even if such an advanced society had the capability of converting energy into mass, thanks to the formula E=MC^2 we know that the energy required even at 100% conversion efficiency to create such a sphere would consume the entire solar output for a very long time. I did the calculations when I was a teenager so I don't remember the specifics, but the one specific I do remember is that to create a sphere around our sun at a distance equal to Earth's orbit that is just 1" thick would require an amount of steel equal to the mass of the Earth. While steel may not be the optimal material and 1" thickness is certainly insufficient to withstand solar forces it does help to indicate or visualize how much material would be required. Additionally, for the sphere to be a viable temperature it would have to exceed Earth's orbit in volume as it is trapping all solar output and the heat buildup would not allow for liquid water - making things very uncomfortable. But I suppose that is the fiction part of the science, though the concept of combining "science" + "fiction" always seemed rather incongruous to me.
Please , please , please-more Hyperion content!
Incredible video, yet again, your work is terrific. Thank you for sharing it!
Ohhh perfect to find my quiet corner and listen to you. Thank you.
I remember I accidently picked up a badly translated norwegian edition of this book. Im talking early Google translate level, i still enjoyed it enough to pick up the sequel.
Outstanding video! 👍
Great book, and great video.
Love how you explain things
Have you checked out Isaac Arthur's Science and Futurism channel here on youtube?
I recommend it
I love his videos! There are not enough channels that make 20-40 min videos that go on depth about speculative science
lol I first thought of him when I saw this video
I read the comments to see if anyone would mention him. Highly recommended.
Thank for the recommendation, just saw the 'Life in Low Gravity ' video.
freeman dyson described a dyson sphere as more of a cloud of habitats or satellites
It would be interesting to see you do some videos on the Golden Age series by John C Wright.
I love your channel. You are very thoughtful on all the insights you have. i have seen all your dune videos and I will be a fan for a long time.
I love the Hyperion Cantos but I've been a bit confused regarding who sent the Time Tombs back to the time when Hyperion occurs.
And I have another question. Didn't the Lions and Tigers and Bears engineered the "big mistake" and took the planet to a safe place?
They did move Old Earth to the Magellanic Clouds and eliminated the black hole in the process. But there are a couple of very short lines that made me think it through again. The Core wanted Mankind off the Earth, right?. (Made us easier to control and dependent on the tech we got from the Core.) The Big Mistake was engineered by the Core--and the very first contact they had with the LT&B's was Old Earth suddenly disappears when it should have gone BANG! in a great big energy release when the hole ate enough of it.
No BANG and an entire planet disappears. The Core was not only incapable of something like that, it had no idea HOW it was done in the first place. (We now know that it was the self-contained farcasting technique which Aenea called "taking the first step." Apparently, only organic life can do that. Machines can't.)
Here's the conundrum: did the Core really engineer the Big Mistake? Or was it the LT&B's? BOTH? Did the LT&B's see what the Core was trying to do and simply waited until enough humans had left Old Earth, then "teleported" it a few million light years? ('Simply'. Holy Toledo, if that sort of tech don't scare the bejeezus out of you, nothing will. Think about it. The entire Universe is open to anyone in milliseconds with as much effort as taking a single step. Wow, that's what I want for Christmas!) Did the Ousters have anything to do with it? They exited shortly after the Project lost control of the hole and it dropped into the core of our planet--taking with them lots of nanotech. Something isn't quite right here. Could it be that everyone had a hand in it?
The Time Tombs? Humanity's far descendants. perhaps as much as a couple of million years in the future. Simmons is a bit vague on the date. It's sometime long after the 3100 years mentioned in Quinn's video about the Hyperion Cantos timeline. But it was Humanity that built the Tombs with Ouster technology. All part of an elaborate plot to remove Rachel from the playing field, introduce Moneta, plant the Shrike on Hyperion, and act as a beachhead for the inevitable assault on the catacombs.
It all seems unnecessarily complex until one considers how and when the dominoes fall; which events happen and in what sequence. Forget linearity; the meta-narrative jumps in six different directions. If it helps, you can think of the Time Tombs as a series of specialized portals leading to various planets, different timelines, and even the Magellanic Clouds. I suspect the basis for the technology came from the LT&B's but when they were constructed in the far future, the Ousters and all of Humanity must have been part of that federation. Collective? Um, interdimensional sewing circle? What would YOU call a wildly disparate group of lifeforms that individually have the power to traverse the universe and collectively have the means to blow up galaxies to power...something else?
I dunno, exactly, but if we ever meet people like that, I sure hope that they're friendly.
@@Trans909 very well put but there might be one piece you didn’t include.
It’s been some time since I read the Cantos but weren’t there some lines in there indicating that various factions (humanity, the TechnoCore, LT&Bs etc) had deployed different tombs and even Shrikes back in time for their own reasons?
Might be totally wrong, just popped into my jogging while reading your comment.
It was all a bit fuzzy as I recall. I’m inclined to think Simmons left the ambiguity about the LT&Bs and Time Tombs in case he ever felt like revisiting the series. The dangling questions never bothered me though; the main plots were all resolved well and humanity was left ready to begin exploring greater mysteries.
@@ryans4877 As I understand it, there was only ONE Shrike, reiterated endlessly across Time and Space. Supposedly, the future Ultimate Intelligence created it, using bits of Fedmahn Kassad's personality. Apparently, the Shrike was given a limited kind of free will and consequently seemed to be fighting both for and against Humanity. A further caveat is provided by Ummon who tells Brawne Lamia and the cyberloop reconstruction of John Keats that Time is fluid and future events may unfold in ways not indicated by present events.
There seem to be many ways one can travel in Time in the Hyperion universe. The Time Tombs are but one form--and a specifically-purposed form at that. The Shrike is literally "scattered" across the whole of Space-Time, at least in a local way. This galaxy only, apparently, although we have no idea what the LT&B's may be encountering in other areas of the Cosmos.
I'm not entirely sure that I WANT to know about that. This seems amply complex and thought-provoking for now.
@@Trans909 thanks for the reply
This has got my brain chugging now, suppose it’s time to read through them again. And maybe try to take notes this time lol
Subbed after watching your stuff off an on for a while. Had to sub after you started covering Hyperion!
You make great content and it's pleasure watching your videos.
Thanks for making such great videos, I've received a lot of enjoyment from them. You seem like a good dude too.
Who are we to judge what it is to be human when the ephemeral spark of humanity is one independent of form or biology, independent of belief or creed. To simply live, and grow from the wellspring of life, like that of a tree, with its many branches and hollows. Is that not what it is to be human?
I love the Foundation, Hyperion, and Dune series, not are they just work of lovely fiction that entertains, but they provoke many deep thoughts and beg the lessons of many questions. Sadly now I must find Audio Books of them due to failing eyesight, but I happily look forward to rereading them with my ears, so to tread thir grounds in a new way, and maybe stumble on new questions to ponder. Keep up the great work @IdeasOfIceAndFire.
Love your videos, man. They are a great resource when reading these books.
I’m new here! Navigating the playlist! Sooooo good!
Great video Q..
Loved the bait and switch the story did of making the posters out to be villains, when in actuality they were really the good humans because they hadn’t been controlled by the Technocore.
I really need to read this series!
Subscribed and liked. Keep up the great content friend.
amazing question at the end!
Perfection is constant change, for the moment u solidify you become imperfect; incapable of change as the world changes around you.
The ousters followed The Golden Path. Leto the 2nd would be proud.
Or even Ilium and Olympos by Simmons
Omg yes! He should do those books next.
"The Quiet eats Seteboses for breakfast"
I struggled my way through those two. bit too complicated for me
Thanks for the upload sir.
Keep up the content!
I live the concept of the Ousters. Humanity that adapts to the environment instead of trying to possess it and bend it to its will, and thus gaining more and creating such increadible worlds. Also love how they are said to the enemies, plotting an attack, while it´s actually the opposite.
I love how you've been getting into sci-fi series recently! I suggest checking out the Expanse. Its heavily realistic and the author focuses on the social, political and economic dynamic between the Belters(those who live among the inner planets), Martians and Earthers. It centers around a group of ice-haulers turned freedom-fighters and the political machinations of the Cold War between the MCR and the United Nations.
