     @otolithe @lauren I have Plans for the next space opera (not the one I'm currently redrafting: the one after that) in which the wealthy live like 18th century aristocrats—lots of human flunkies everywhere but an Amish approach to electronics and AI. While the poors live in a demon-haunted world where you have to shout at the taps if you want a shower.
