      This book was written in 1996 and its future is effectively defunct Socially: the Internet /exists/ but people use it like they would as academics in the early 90s, at best Pulling up files and that's it Technologically: ML does not exist

      In particular, the setting of this planet is a sort of genetically-engineered caste system built around extensive selective breeding But come on these people have interstellar travel /Selective breeding/ ? This is as far as genomics has advanced in hundreds of years?

      It was a super fun read but it feels a bit as if Romans wrote stories of interplanetary travel on chariots pulled by very large horses, and continued to fight with swords in space-battles (Yeah I know about the one) So I suppose not so far from Red Mars Still Bit bewildering

          Honestly, that's my favorite kind of scifi. I like staying grounded because scifi that's too imaginary tends to bury the characters under its own ideas.
