Here at Ars we unapologetically love science fiction. Books<\/a>, movies<\/a>, comics\u2014all of it. In fact, it needn’t even be very good to earn our affection\u2014who among us doesn’t have a soft spot for Robot Jox<\/a><\/em> or Dark Star<\/em>? Of late, there has been a wave of fiction that has taken a closer look at what life would be like once humanity starts to colonize the Solar System and beyond: Neal Stephenson’s Seveneves<\/em> and Kim Stanley Robinson’s Aurora<\/em> for example, as well as the miniseries Ascension<\/em>. But none of those has given us something that’s quite as well fleshed out as James SA Corey’s The Expanse.<\/em><\/p>\n

While it feels lazy to compare the series to Game of Thrones<\/em>, it’s understandable how that has happened. This sprawling, Solar System-wide series originally started life as the idea for an MMORPG somewhere around the turn of the century, before morphing into a series of novels (and novellas), and finally,\u00a0a TV series on Syfy<\/a>. Adapting a book to the screen can often be a fraught experience for the fan that is invested in the story. Unusually, however, Corey\u2014or the two humans behind that nom de plume<\/em>, Dan Abraham and Ty Franck\u2014are deeply embedded<\/a> in the show’s writers’ room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
