Thats like saying food is just calories and huel is the best food. This is deeply offensive to me.

Disagree pretty hard. SciFi has always been a medium for exploring the philosophical and political. Every description of a future dystopia/utopia is social commentary; every alien race is a commentary on xenophobia or cultural exchange. Hell even his own books explore…
Tap for spoiler
themes of ecosystem collapse and humanity’s response, which can’t be anything but a political take in 2026.
If you don’t want politics in your books SciFi is probably the worst place to look. Someone should tell him to stick to… idk… character driven romance novels or something.
