I am re-reading Eric Harry's book Arc Light again after 15 years (the book came out in 1994). It's the best military thriller I have ever read. I'll post spoilers for the whole book, so don't read this thread if you want to read the book fresh, but in short, the summary of the book is: It...

Wondering if one or more of these would be feasible by 1921 (for at least one tribe).

That's an interesting idea, too. My scenario focuses on the early 1920's, since I had envisioned it as sort of a sustained economic effort, but a scenario looking at the effects of an actual NA-centric state has a lot of story potential. What would be the land area of such a state? Just...

I was driving through some reservations the other day and got to thinking about them a little. Does anyone think it could have been possible for a reservation, or a tribe in general, to have become an economic powerhouse? Or at least a model? There are serious roadblocks to this, of course, as...

For those who don't know, Axis of Time is about an American carrier battle group from 2021 that gets thrown back in time to the middle of World War II. It's like that movie The Final Countdown, but much better. It doesn't just go into the military effects, but the social effects. Anyway, go read...

Oh nice! It's always fun to see new pictures from Worldwar. It never really got the critical mass of popularity needed where more numerous artistic depictions were made.

lol. I mean, I have to admit, the idea of a Christian technocracy is interesting. Who says Christians have to be luddites?? Might make for an interesting story.

Yeah, the first two scenarios are very unlikely in my opinion....they were more flights of fancy. Another example I can think of is Iran, which oddly allows both the practice of temporary marriage and legally recognizes trans people as the gender they identify with. You wouldn't expect it in a...

Every American knows the story of the Pilgrims, right? They came to America so they could practice their religion the way they wanted to. I was just thinking recently about situations where people might migrate for very unusual, or even really wacky, reasons. This could also refer to future...

Haha, that's pretty cool that they made their own in-universe music video with an original song!

I haven't seen Sliders in a long time (it's really due for a reboot *cough* c'mon Netflix *cough*) but I think the episode that stood out most to me was Double Cross. I'm not surprised that it's on the list. It was just a fun and interesting episode--an alternate, woman version of Quinn; the...

The Voices of Doomsday thread about the Cuban Missile War.

Interesting analysis. I like this thread--I had a similar question on another thread about it.

whoops, sorry, I went to the thread from a link and didn't notice!

Interesting thread idea!
