I am reading Daniel Suarez’s Critical Mass right now, which is about a near-future mass industry getting bootstrapped on the moon after returning a bunch of raw materials from mining a nearby asteroid. Fun to see that reflected in actual news as I am reading fiction about the same thing!
(Sidenote: most of the tech is very realistic, but be aware the author has bought into blockchain hype, and you will be forced to read about how awesome DAOs are. But hey, maybe tech bros won’t be allowed into space to ruin everything? not trying to be a total hater.)
