    In principle I agree, but bro ain’t ever been about tech, but about who controls it, and for what purposes.

    Tech bros of today are petty, greedy and selfish, and they are the template characters for the stories.

    Then we have our current late stage capitalism with the BS trickled down economy, and the overall pie getting smaller due to environmental catastrophe. And I won’t even get started with the current regressivist status of global politics.

    All in all, the most far fetching aspect of StarTrek today is to imagine the possibility of a unified human race coexisting and socio-collaborating with other species. The Expanse seens much more plausible.
