Titel basically. I understand there are caps for the amount of people who can move to or from states but why do chinese states with virtually no population often produce no Emigration at all and millions of unemployed just sit there?
I am contemplating the series after having finished TFOB and man the sheer fact that the carryx exist and that they have been THIS sucessfull as a species might make this the most depressing sci fi world i have ever read.
Because it essentially implies that the carryx are philosophically correct, that they really ARE a superior thing to individualist societies that value life and believe that peace is a desireable state.
And it probably means that wether or not the carrx are destroyed, the universe is probably filled with things like it.
