If you're reading what I think you're reading I feel that the "otherness" of Earth caused by the diaspora is inevitable.

You probably guessed right (but I've seen the same ideas explored in older novels too, eg. the excellent Downbelow Station)

Made sure to subtly hint at the book in my comment. This idea will be more and more prominent in scifi IMO.

Heh, I noticed, you got it in one. Arguably, this is the first series mainstreaming those ideas for wider audiences

Downbelow Station seems fascinating. It also seems to be the gateway into yet another series. Damn.

Oh, lol, I know, not enough time. The setting is great, but you can easily read DBS stand-alone, the Merchant Space novels aren't serialized
