Despite the utter inattention to the inverse cube square laws.... Despite the uber-Darwinian lack of social concerns... Even with the horrible negative sense of species conservation.... In spite of the unrealistic economics and political constructions... Even after a whisper of facts about genetic drift.... These stories are just damn fun!
