    Well on the bright side, getting fired from one of the largest mega corps in the world for complaining about the company’s providing resources to kill civilians is a hell of a thing to be able to put on your resume.

    On the not so bright side, I don’t like being a background character in a cyberpunk story.

      From what I’ve seen, being a main character in one would suck way worse though.

          Yay, space opera! 🥰

          Highly recommend almost everything by Peter F. Hamilton if you haven’t read them, arguably top 3 space opera authors ❤️
