    I’m getting into Adrian Tchaikovsky myself. He certainly loves painting the future as a capitalist hellscape, doesn’t he?

    I’m part way into Shroud, where whole solar systems are being strip-mined for resources, and the people doing the work are skinny because they can’t afford to eat well but they get auto-dosed with drugs to help them focus when hunger is distracting them.
