It hasn't been easy in any era to make a game funny but not dumb, light but not arbitrary, true to its genre but at the same time fresh and individual. I'd say this is well worth a read, whatever SF game you play (name checks David Brin and transhumanism, though I wouldn't want to overstate its depth) or if you're looking for Spaceman Spiff: The RPG, I haven't seen a closer approach.
As the publisher has taken pains to point out, some of the cartoons are a bit salty.
You'll need a calculator handy, or just 3d10 if you're not quite so old-school.
