RE: The Care and Feeding of an Evil Interstellar Empire
Have you read any of Vernor Vinge's books? In some them, the galaxy is divided into different zones in which various levels of technology may exist. In the 'slow zone' FTL is not possible, while it is possible in other areas. The differences in how cultures develop in those zones is strongly affected by that. You may like it as a kind of thought experiment.
No, but I think I will now. Thx for the tip.
