Everyone in Wagner was about to be conscripted into the regular Russian Army as the latest in an ongoing power struggle between Wagner's boss and the Russian MoD. So to avoid losing his private army, the boss has stepped up the power struggle to an attempted coup, basically.

I am totally the opposite. I can work through complex algebra proofs, but ask me to work out 2 x 3 + 21? Good luck.

Almost anything by Peter F. Hamilton but particular shout out to the Commonwealth books, Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained. Two massive changes in particular - gateway style interplanetary travel, and de-aging technology.

It's a phenomenal story, with my favourite ever alien race, and probably my second favourite chapter ever written, but behind the story and inextricably integrated is a fascinating social exploration of how society could develop around those tech advances, from interplanetary politics to relationships.

Oxygen of publicity spreads toxicity. Defederation would take away a huge part of their potential to reach people, if they're being toxic.

I feel like the recent history of the world proves this not to be true
