How does science fiction explore ideas of money, economics, and government? What is the role of speculative fiction in shaping how we see the world around us as well as helping imagine new possibilities?
Eli K. P. William is a Canadian sci-fi novelist, game writer, and translator based in Japan. In 2015 he published his first sci-fi novel, Cash Crash Jubilee, the first book in his “Jubilee Cycle” trilogy.
One of the most unfortunate things about science fiction as a genre is how utterly atrocious the economics usually are.
Maybe that's just me, because I love both science fiction and economics and I want them to get along.
You should write the first economically accurate sci-fi. I'll even contribute to your Patreon!
It wouldn't be the first (and it probably still wouldn't be accurate).
Have you read any of the Jubilee books? I hadn't heard of them before and I'm curious.
