All Planets Are Earth-Like | |
| Radiance / int_8252652c | comment |
All Planets Are Earthlike: All of the planets in the solar system are relatively hospitable to humans, have their own biological life, and are reachable by late 19th-early 20th century technology, in an homage to classical pulp fiction. | |

Alternate History | |
| Radiance / int_a86069f | comment |
Alternate History: Black-and-white silent films are still made in this day and age because Thomas Edison is hoarding the patents to film-making. In addition to a pulp-fiction-esque solar system and spaceflight, the nations of earth look somewhat different—America is implied to be much smaller, for example, since Cythera Brass is from a country formed by a coalition of Native American tribes that apparently takes up most of the Midwest. The Romanovs of Russia are still alive - Czar Nicholas II is seen briefly as an old man. The implication is that the colonisation of space prevented both the genocide of Native Americans in the Midwest and West, and World War I, by reducing scarcity of land and raw materials on Earth, but that this has simply postponed such large-scale mechanised warfare and something in the future will happen that will be even worse. | |
