I’m picking up where I left off on my soon to be released extended version of A Symposium in Space…March 25, 2019! Soon as I’ve got them, I’ll post the buy links. For now, here’s another taste…
Such barbarism was behind us. A new democracy had spread out from Ancient Earth, across space, freeing women from their former bondage to male thoughts and ideas.
The only problem was this democracy was dominated by the wealthy and the powerful, just as too many societies had been in the past. They controlled the spaceways, spamming the universe with their advertising. Their shining, three-dimensional billboards and oversized spacecrafts were everywhere, dominating the skyline.
It was more than a little annoying.

Damn that consumerism and the power of filthy lucre! You’re saying we can’t even escape it in space? Augh!

Not in this part of space. I fear the citizens of the Intergalactic Democracy have forgotten both herstory and history, thus repeating their mistakes…(sighs)

More than a little annoying, is right. Paints a rather garish picture of the future.

I’ll admit, Phaedra is channeling some of my own bewilderment and annoyance at having my senses bombarded with advertising. (wry grin)

Well, darn. A better society, perhaps, but still not good. ❤️

Nope. There’s a reason I called it a decadent matriarchy. (wry grin)

Alas, I’m not sure if it’s better. It tried to be, but it’s stumbled. A lot. (wry grin)
