Re: Planets of SF Author Hats
Cameron: On Pan-Cameron-426, technology is a plague. It backfires on the inhabitants at critical moments, is used to subjugate the inhabitants, or both. Without exception. For some reason, a significant proportion of the population suffers from a total lack of common sense, which may explain why they keep relying on technology.
Lovecraft: You can't handle this planet. If you try, you will mercifully go insane instead. Also notable for its unusual art and architecture.
Crichton: See "Cameron".
