Summary
Noted historian and author Xiuying Liu (Elite Power: the White-Collar Paracriminal Lobby, The Yàngbǎn in Việt Nam, 1994-2009) takes an incisive and fearless look at the American military-heroic-industrial complex, and the ways in which emerging parahumanity became entangled with ongoing transformations in capitalism during the tumultuous decade that saw the birth and death of the first parahuman 'heroes.' Charting the development of 'Endbringer diplomacy,' Liu demonstrates unambiguously the ways by which the politics of eternal crisis became the foundation of post-Soviet American hegemony, and how the Protectorate-PRT became the sword and shield of the US State Department. A must-read for anybody who wishes to understand how the unprecedented material forces at play in the last quarter-century have created our unique historical moment.

Summary
A petty, self-obsessed kid who is suspiciously similar to Jaune Arc finds out that he is Jaune Arc. Armed only with having watched two-three~ seasons of RWBY, a history of substance abuse, and about two years experience with Information Technology in the United States Army, he and team B.A.S.S. (Blake, Arc, Schnee, & Shadow Person or something—I don’t know, I never learned their name) must survive as the world’s least competent B-team. But don’t worry, he’s done this once before, and it’s only ended in tragedy once!
If you’re looking for insane crack, you’re half there. But if you’re looking for a sort of dialogue-heavy character study of your favorite waifus under the influence of someone charitably best described as “a loose collection of character flaws,” you’re in the right place. The following is serious crack with heart dealing with drug addiction, socioeconomics, past failures, and making amends to people you've hurt, as well as a deconstruction of the SI genre. Enjoy a cast of broken, neurotic weirdos up to their eyes in trauma and psychoses trying their best to be Huntsmen!

Very fun reimagining of star trek voyager as a classically pulpy sci-fi story.

Bookmarker's Notes
A great exploration of Exocolonist's setting, and one which manages to go in a different direction from the rest of the game while still keeping things feeling grounded. Wholehearted recommendation.
