Ok, before we get too far onto this blog, it probably makes sense to explain Darwood & Smitty, so’s you’ll see why I’m looking at certain topics (for the most part) on the blog.
Darwood & Smitty – the book, not the primary characters in the book – is essentially a tongue-in-cheek sci-fi book set in 2045. Sure, there is a global government at that point, heavily influenced by the juggernaut corporations as well as by the heavy-hitting governments of the day. But you’ve also got interplanetary trade and politics going on as well.
The setting gives me a good chance to project today’s trends into the future, as all good sci-fi writers do. And of course it gives a terrific opportunity for political commentary, which just might show up once or twice in the novel. Oh … and don’t worry – no lectures. More like, observations and open-ended arguments, so’s not to insult the dear reader.
Ok, so with that background, you can expect to see observations of corporate and political issues going on today here in my blog.
