For example, in space opera settings, you’ll have factions or groups where they have like thousands of space ships. That’s a lot of metal, which demands a lot of mining. Either a government or some big ass corporate conglomerate would have the ability to mine all that metal or manufacture all those ships.
Are there any books that focus on the mining/spaceship building/mega corporation angle?
I had this thought after reading The Expanse. I’ve tried doing my own Google searching but I don’t think there’s been a book that tackles something this specific.
