2/ Not sure. I note that it doesn't say "verified purchaser", nor does it call out any specific plot details. The science is as hard as I can make it. I exaggerated a bit with the energy density of micro-kinetic-flywheels, and the AG drive is >https://twitter.com/epobirs/status/1141782441322921984 …

3/ deeply considered, obeying conservation of energy and other constraints. The exact mechanism of the AG drive is explained more in Aristillus 3 and 4, and is at least consistent with some of the crazier out-there speculation by real physicists.

4/ e.g. I worked with this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Margolus … and we had lots of interesting lunch time chats, and I read several papers that he recommended.

That’s a freaking “concern” review

I'm curious what his complaint is beyond the AG drive. The advent of a major technological breakthrough has been a core plot of SF going back over a century, all the way back to Jules Verne.

Is he trying to say there has never been a real life occurrence of a small subset of humanity enjoying exclusive control of a world changing technology? Like, say, in 1945?

"Ridiculously naive political babble" like the part where a government might invade an otherwise peaceful nation to expropriate resources to prop up its failing economy? Refugees fleeing said government and setting up their own frontier town to escape socialism?

A government being so incompetent that it bungles an invasion and gets most of its people killed? Twice? Lying to its citizens as pretext to invade? Funding a resistance movement on a relative shoestring budget and successfully repelling a larger, better equipped force?
