The Long Earth	comment	A science fiction series co-written by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter. After the schematics for an easy-to-construct device called a Stepper, a key component of which being a potato, are leaked onto the internet, most of humanity gains the ability to "step" to parallel Earths. The issue being, nobody knew that was what a Stepper did that first day. "Step Day" involved a large number of teens vanishing into the next Earth in the line, many injuring themselves.In Madison, Wisconsin, one boy named Joshua Valiente Steps along with the others, but unlike the rest does not experience nausea or disorientation. He gathers the other teens and helps them back to their Earth. On the same day, a single police officer also learns how to Step and becomes a sort of police liaison for Stepping-related crimes.Skip forward a decade or so, and society has been rocked by the new ability to Step. There is now no limit to space or resources, and so the global economy, no longer able to base itself on the scarcity value of commodities like gold and food, is smashed. Colonization of "The Long Earth" is subsidized by many governments under an attempted "Aegis Law," but no one buys the idea that governments have control over the Long Earth equivalents of their lands — especially as no matter how far they attempt to extend their authority, an entire planet is never more than a Step away. As governments crumble and become useless, rules and patterns emerge:

The Long Earth / int_1161fb48	type	Bizarre Alien Biology
The Long Earth / int_1161fb48	comment	Bizarre Alien Biology: The Assemblers. While they look like strange human-sized beetles with odd humanoid faces, they also integrate metal haphazardly into their bodies, making it difficult to tell where the machinery ends and the actual organic parts begin. They do not possess organs, but instead a green, spongy material inside of their exoskeleton that doesn't seem to have individual components within. Finally, they possess manipulator appendages so fine that they can change the molecular composition of anything they come into contact with.

Some guys don't get this early on and step out to regions with known gold deposits in the hopes of making their fortune, only to be greeted by mocking crowds who realized what the real effect of vast untapped gold resources would be. Conversely, iron (or rather, things made of it) becomes quite a valuable resource because it can't be stepped, therefore you have to go through the rigmarole of mining, refining, smelting and forging it on every Earth you step to.

The Long Earth / int_c6ae3121	comment	Modern Stasis: It's now the mid-21st century, yet, aside from the return of airship technology, Lobsang, and the Stepper boxes themselves, there seems to have been no technological change at all. In some areas, like space travel, there has actually been regression. This is justified and explored: Because humanity now has access to the literally infinite resources of the Long Earth, there is no more incentive to develop better technology. It is implied that this may be the reason why technological civilizations are so rare across the Long Earth: Only intelligent species that cannot step have any reason to advance beyond the hunter-gatherer stage.

The Long Earth / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Long Earth / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Many, including- Contact, including whether someone is reading the original, or a Book Of The Film. Contact and A for Andromeda are listed as examples of two possible results of 'the SETI message', with 'Contact' being the "good ending" and 'Andromeda' being... not so pleasant. Star Trek: When Dev and Lee find out that the Next effectively have food replicators, they waste no time. Lobsang uses Star Trek: First Contact as a metaphor for why the message has arrived now. Joshua is the only one who knows what he's talking about. Possibly as Baxter's tribute to Sir Terry, Sancho the troll "librarian" is repeatedly described as resembling an orang-utan.

The Long Earth / int_f7b57d62	comment	Enforced Technology Levels: Two factors govern Stepping; No iron can be Stepped unless it's bound up in an organic molecule — blood of course, but even rust will go, as it's bound with oxygen and hydrogen. This leaves a lot of tools on Datum Earth. To Step an object, a Stepping person must carry it. Thus, no vehicles until Lobsang installs himself on an airship. This results in the somewhat humorous sight of people team-hefting logs only to team-Step them and lay them on a flatbed truck in Datum. Taken together, Datum Earth is the only advanced civilization, and Low Earths are Steampunk at best. Beyond that, it's for all intents and purposes the Stone Age, albeit with small amounts of specially designed ironless technology that the colonists brought with them from the Datum.
