About this ebook

H2LiftShips, a tech manual for a future "Imagine a world, exactly like ours, but different" You all knew we would settle on Luna and start mining the Asteroid belt. Mars, dry, dusty with thin unbreathable air, is just a prison planet with the added hell of lawyers and accountants in charge. Asteroid groups are unified in their desire for independence to try different governance methods. It may not be our future, but it is a future we can get behind. Travel the solar system on solar sail ships. Meet hard-working sentients: humans, canines, simians, and octopuses, plying our heliosphere for fun and profit. You won't find any exploding rockets, evil aliens, laser blasters, or sparking computers, instead, you'll find hacked comm lines, buried Luna casinos, pirates, dust balls, and weaponized beef jerky. And after your cruise through the Asteroid belt, Mars, and Luna, settle down on Earth for a party in the desert, they'll bring the Carne Asada burritos, you bring the fun. No matter what regime is in charge, Gig workers have to jump from job to job, trying to earn enough for food, shelter, air, and waste disposal. Welcome: Join humans, simians, canines, and octopuses in our new future, gigging and living in the void.
