      Anyone who wants this kind of combo should read Peter Hamilton’s Commonwealth Saga (Pandora’s Star and Judas Unchained). Literally a society built around a train network connected with wormholes between planets.

        Trains are fuckin awesome man, and I don’t know why, but goddamn do I love watching them, and hearing them and riding them.

        Edit: also I am down for your dissertation on black holes, but I get to talk at you about terrible music and all the production with WAT too much enthusiasm.
