Far Flung

A tense situation aboard a near-future seastead, a colony on the ocean's surface. I'd like to see more seasteading fiction. Like other examples, it dwells on the tough political position of people trying to start a new country with a pro-freedom bent in a world that doesn't like either part of that.

Some interesting ideas.

A lot of food for thought, in a good way.
More like an extended opening chapter than a stand alone. That said, it made for an entertaining read that left me hoping for me.
So, job done.

A good story that gives the rationale for seasteads and pigggybacks well with Manx Prize.
