      In fact, scifi has been far more competent than mainstream economics or polisci in extrapolating how predatory capitalism affects societies.

      @JayStephens the reason why scifi is better at that is that being informed & humanist are its core competences. Not so with econ, really.

          @asteris Fair point. My fave utopias: Banks, LeGuin. Fave dystopias: Early Gibson, Dick. Most common econ. flaw: Overestimating statism.

          @JayStephens Banks always made it hard for me to start on his stuff, then he passed away. Plenty good fare in recent decades, branch out :)

          @asteris hadn't struck me b4,but Pickety's Capital feels like he's fumbling towards ideas SF has clearly expressed decades ago in places.
