Serenity

Serenity

Pros: Everyone speaks in really clever dialogue, so you’ll never have a boring conversation; combination American/Chinese hegemony means finally you’ll pick up that second language; you can enjoy garb like chaps and leather dusters without people thinking you’ve got some sort of weird kink going on; lots of smuggling, which is the closest thing the future has to being a pirate, yarrr.

Cons: Central government is a thinly-veiled despotic bureaucracy with delusions of social engineering, perfectly happy to kill people it finds annoying (including you); when you least expect it, you are likely to be killed and eaten by berzerker zombies from space; after a while you’ll realize all that clever conversation just makes you want to strangle someone; the nagging feeling that your universe isn’t as popular as you think it should be.

Overall grade: C. Really only suitable for a select few.

So for the moment I think I’ll just keep living in this world. Sure, that means no light sabers or Vulcan wingmen or learning Kung Fu in fifteen seconds. But it also means no crushed windpipes, despotic emperors or computer overlords using me as a flashlight. It’s a fair trade.
