Sci-fi author Yudhanjaya Wijeratne and I are working on a script that extracts economic concepts from reviews of science fiction novels. We are interested in observing convergences: are there alternative economies that feel believable to several authors? Here is a first shot, using reviews mostly written by myself over the years. Authors reviewed include Cory Doctorow (npub1fdr…lvhs) , Bruce Sterling @bruces (npub180t…3agy) Annalee Newitz 🍜 (npub1hhs…rl5g), Karl Schroeder (npub1rhm…wgvj), Kim Stanley Robinson, and others.
