A review by kateofmind
Astrotopia: The Dangerous Religion of the Corporate Space Race by Mary-Jane Rubenstein

challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

As someone who loves science fiction, NASA, etc, I found this book at times very difficult to deal with. Which argues for how most of us need to wrestle with its compelling arguments and questions. And I'm happy to say the author isn't just standing athwart recent history and saying no,  nor is she just roasting billionaires (satisfyingly); she has suggestions for how we might do space differently and how it doesn't have to be Space or Stagnation -- or space merely for the benefit of the few.
