>>10967911
>Vera Historia
In sum, typical science fiction themes and topoi appearing in True Stories are:[3]

travel to outer space
encounter with alien life-forms, including the experience of a first encounter event
interplanetary warfare and imperialism
colonization of planets
artificial atmosphere
liquid air
reflecting telescope
motif of giganticism
creatures as products of human technology (robot theme)
worlds working by a set of alternate 'physical' laws
explicit desire of the protagonist for exploration and adventure

yeah, this is the one. forgot about it from years back. never got around to finding it. any good?
