It has no FTL, no aliens, is located all over the solar system, has AIs and parahumans, and things can be removed to make it harder (like the parahumans). And the GURPS rules are light, at least in most of the books. It is more about the setting than the rules.But what makes it realistic is the people of the setting. There are still over a hundred nations and many of them are in blocs. There are poor people and rich. Colonists of the ocean floor and Mars are not really that different in being people. The odd book in the bunch is Toxic Memes, about ways of controlling the masses through advance advertisement, for lack of a better term.So my answer to your question is yes. If you do decide to buy it, I suggest The 5th Wave, Broken Dreams (both examine Earth), In the Well (Mercury, Venus and Mars), and Toxic Memes supplements as well.</blockquote>
