1. Astrotopia
The Dangerous Religion of the Corporate Space Race
Astrotopia by Mary-Jane Rubenstein delves into the narratives driving the current space exploration endeavors led by influential figures like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. As Earth faces numerous crises, these leaders propose space colonization as a solution, echoing past colonial ambitions. Rubenstein critiques these modern myths of limitless growth and guilt-free energy, drawing parallels to historical European colonialism. She challenges the notion of space as a sanctuary for a select few, advocating instead for a future where space exploration prioritizes stewardship and equity over exploitation.
