   I guess basically... like if people think "you suck," well, by all means say so. But the "I see what you're up to, you sneaky sneaky Weinersmiths" is bizarre for a 400+ page book where we lay out our policy position.

     @ZachWeinersmith I enjoyed the book! But it certainly did make me want to think more about preserving this handy life-sustaining environment we've got.

     One of the weirdest responses for A City on Mars is the people who think we're *up to something*, usually meaning some kind of sneaky scheme against technology or freedom or something. Mostly it's weird because we're super open about our position? Like, we're not with-holding secret communist leanings. In fact, we spend a while talking about how newspace tech is really cool and Elon, personal faults notwithstanding, made a massive difference.
