[ExI] The Expanse is science fiction like television has never seen

[John Grigg]

What I would love to see one day, is a television series based on the Steve
Jackson rpg, Transhuman Space. I would say it is a more "cyberpunk/biopunk"
take on a universe like The Expanse (and probably more realistic as to what
the future will be like). I recall Anders being a fan of it...
