Comment: One of my guiding principles of making Forward was "no one cares how the warp drive works". When Roddenberry made Star Trek, he was not required to show a working model of a faster-than-light spacecraft before filming. It is enough to know that this sort of thing is plausible, given a few centuries of technological advancement, and to know how it affects the lives of the protagonists. Similarly, I don't want to write political or economic or sociological or technological treatises to explain how everything in Forward works. I can simply have a character state, in passing, that an act of violence on a college campus is - for whatever reason - implausibly rare, and I think it is enough that we can move on from there. |
