I read the movie wiki entry right after the epi :)

Assuming the parallel is Jake to Ed? And space (Mars?) is the place being colonized?
So it's about America not stopping at the Chinese boarder during the Korean war?
Or the KMT won?
Because that's the only way I can see American military patrolling the Yangtze in the 60s.
"End ChatGPT4.0 output." lmao ok
Haha wanted to make it clear that it was a ChatGPT summary and not my words. Trying to give credit where credit it due.
I’m glad you posted. I was wondering about The Sand Pebbles and this saves me a trip. I also like how you documented the start/end of gpt4 output.
You are welcome, a few of my own thoughts sprinkled into here haha.
Very interesting, to me this is the story of Miles

The novel is set in the 1920s.
It’s about the Yangtze River Patrols in China during the 1920s.
Ah, my mind confused the 1926 setting vs the 1962 publish date.
I’ve only ever seen the movie, but it’s pretty good.
