What I mean is this is the most perfect videoghame whereaus Titanic movie is the perfect film.

What I am wondering and am seeking advice on is what book do you think it most like, I don't know so many book so I am not an expert on the genre.


Yes, Eve is indeed like the Titanic.
Run by people whose hubris are sending it full tilt into the icebergs, while saying things have never been better.

It's more like run aground on a sandbank. Compared to that, WoW has hit solid rock.

Remove standings and insurance.

You mean, massively successful beyond anyone's wildest dreams, giving everyone involved unprecedented freedom to do whatever it is they want to do in spite of what the haters say (because no-one cares about or listens to haters)?

Yes, it's a lot like that. Especially the haters part.

Glen Cook : Passage at Arms

nothing wrong with the Culture series though, Excession is probably my favourite, or Consider Phlebas

Peter Hamilton's 'Night's Dawn' trilogy would be a good place to start. Just put the last book down about 100 pages from the end and make up your own ending in your head and all will be good.


I read many of his books and ALL endings are bad. It is weird really.


As an alternative to Hamilton I suggest Alistair Reynolds' Revelation Space novels.

Have a look at Chribba's Eve-Offline website and examine the historical PCU, then read the propaganda coming out of the failed lawyer's website. Even the null sec cartels are worried that their meal ticket is in trouble.

But hey, you can simply not do any of that and just believe the statements from the usual suspects that inevitably follow.

What meal ticket is that? And what do you have to support your claim?

As one of the member of the Dance band I will continue to play till the water rises above the keyboard on which I compose. I wouldn't have thought of the Titanic as an analogy but if you want a few concepts can be forced to fit

-complexity and new things to find around every corner
-so big nobody really knows all of it, not even the people who built it know it all
-rich folks in a different world than steerage
=we all have destinations but it is doubtful we will get there
=it is the journey and the trials therein that make our stories

yeah, that'll work

Eve is like if the Titanic was full of stupid people. It hits an iceberg but no one gets off. Or does anything to help. They just lay in bed reading skillbooks until it finally slips beneath the waves.

1) the titanic was the perfect film
2)the titanic has anything to do with eve or
3)eve is actually dying (the thinly veiled point in the op).
