Eclipse Phase: The Roleplaying Game of Transhuman Survival

Le livre de base de la seconde édition du jeu de rôles Eclipse Phase. Nous avons ici affaire à de la science-fiction d'excellente qualité, très bien pensée et au propos éminemment politique. Tout ce que j'aime dans la science-fiction. Presque chaque paragraphe m'a donné des idées de personnages ou d'aventures.

En prime, ce paragraphe parfait où les auteurs expliquent leur façon d'aborder la politique dans leur jeu :

We're not going to make any bones about it: this is an overtly political game, and political conflicts shape much of the setting. Most readers will be familiar with how capitalist socioeconomic systems work, so we've given much more attention in the setting materials to describing new and alternative political systems. If the authors appear biased toward anarchism and socialism, it's because we are — but we also need to describe how they actually work, since Americans don't understand socialism much less anarchism. Truthfully, all sci-fi games are biased; most just happen to be biased towards the status quo.
