Classic science fiction authors loved to project present-day tensions between existing nation-states into the future... and especially into SPAAACE!

Five Classic SF Books About Rival Nation-States in Space

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

From: (Anonymous)

One of the odd subplots in the very odd _The Garments of Caean_: The Japanese Empire and the Soviet Union are still fighting the Russo-Japanese War (yes, I know the Soviet Union postdates that war) in SPAAAACE. As cyborgs. Both sides have completely forgotten their Terran origins, or indeed that their ancestors were never cyborgs to begin with.
