![]() ![]() Publishing schedules being what they are, this had to have been written before the Trump administration took hold, and yet. It's a bleak portrait of the future, but not a distant one-a near future, one where automation has put millions out of work, where healthcare is only afforded to the super-rich, where teaching is replaced by one-size-fits-all videos and the arts are utterly unsupported. Whether he's trying to hold a failing relationship together (for the ratings) or struggling with an embarrassing disease (because his family can't afford the medical treatment), Adam has a unique perspective and voice. He's struggling to support his family and be true to his own ideals. (This is why the "realistic" tag, despite the aliens.)Īdam is an artist. They've brought technologies, and automation!

Aliens invaded Earth, sure, but it's really more colonization than invasion. ![]()
