Gripe with Uplift fanfics
Hey 👋
I wanted to ask wether anyone has a fanfic, that is actually about the modern institutions that underpin all our technology?
While I appreciate all the guns and medical advancement, agriculture etc. I cannot help but feel they are incomplete. For example: they always have the Norfolk crop system and that’s all fine and dandy, but that does nothing at all for good taxation. There is always some notion of doing a survey, yet never actually any thought as to how about it, and always just “measter did it” which frankly is ridiculous, when you see, that even minor fiefs are basically the size of rhode island.
Does anyone know about a fic where they actually allude to not just tech rushing but also state building, and the associated state craft ?
