A little help - 'business in SF'
Saturday, March 14, 2015
Trying to think of stories or books or movies or whatever that involve science fiction and business.
Examples:
James McKimmey - 'Confidence Game'
Edgar Rice Burroughs - The Efficiency Expert [not SF/F; I'm terrible at this already]
Robert Heinlein - The Man Who Sold the Moon
Mark Twain - A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (lots of weird marketing, business, etc. stuff in there)
John D MacDonald - 'The Mechanical Answer'
Edward Hale - The Brick Moon (land speculation and crowd-funding!)
Richard Morgan - Market Forces
James Lovegrove - Days
I feel there are probably a lot by Heinlein, Asimov, et al. - (Vonnegut?! Ellison?!) that all look at taking management 'techniques' to some sort of goofily improbable conclusion.
Think of any? Please chuck them in the comments! I'm pretty broad-minded on what might 'qualify' for either business or SF/F, so the more thoughts the merrier...
