Comparing the Culture's Contact with the Prime Directive from Star Trek | LOL 103
from Lex Out Loud: Writing Science Fiction · host Lex Starwalker
In this episode I compare and contrast the Culture’s Contact organization with the Federation from Star Trek. Specifically, I look at how Contact approaches other, less advanced civilizations and compare that to the Prime Directive. Spoiler: It’s almost completely the opposite approach. I’ll tell you why, as we explore this topic together.LinksCheck out my novel, Critical Balance.Have you read Critical Balance?
