When I first read the bit about being a reaction against colourless sci-fi, I thought it was star-trek-with-fewer-white-dudes and I was excited! Then I realised it wasn't that, so I thought maybe it was star-trek-with-less-grey-surfaces, and I was slightly excited. The I read it and it's star-trek-with-FUCKSHIT-and-TEH-DRUGS-HARRDDDCOREEEE
