		<description><![CDATA[Taylor, Martin. Your topic is of literally world-shaking importance. You have done serious research and drawn attention to data usually omitted from the anthropological canon. Why then, serious question, have you received so little response to these posts? To this reader the argument is flat. When I read the proposal that space exploration was closely entangled with militarism and colonialism, my response is &quot;No, duh&quot; (by which I mean, &quot;Doesn&#039;t everyone know that already?&quot;).

I look for a fresh angle. I don&#039;t see one. That doesn&#039;t mean that one couldn&#039;t be there. As someone who became an SF geek when I was thirteen, that would have been in 1957, I recall a steady stream of dystopian stories and novels that challenged the technoutopian world view you describe so well. I look at what comics, manga, anime, and superhero movies have become and want to learn more about the processes by which the dark vision of cyberpunk displaced the technoutopian dream in popular culture and what has kept it alive in Silicon Valley and the military-industrial complex. There&#039;s a lot that remains to be explored.]]></description>
