Capitalism is used to enforce other forms of marginalization, not the other way around.

A couple of years ago I picked it up again. The thing about art is no matter how good you get, there's always a million people better than you, but that's no excuse to not be proud of what you've accomplished.

This isn't just in fantasy or sci-fi, either. Character bios, excessive outlining, over justification, etc. also count. If the story's working, readers don't care about plot holes or minor inconsistencies.

The more you look, the more you find. Case and point: "prewritten software"? As opposed to what? "Postwritten software"? I have extremely nerdy friends and not once have I spoken to them about how much tax I pay on software.

I don't remember if it was the same in the book, but it bothered me how ridiculous Project Hail Mary's portrayal of the scientific process was. I know it's fiction, but one dude isn't singlehandedly solving the biggest problems in physics on his own alone in a lab.
