Incorporated Built an Incredible World. Then Syfy Nuked It

A future world ruled by evil corporations isn't exactly a new concept, but the Syfy show Incorporated brings something fresh to the idea. Science fiction editor John Joseph Adams says the show's world-building will impress even hardcore science fiction readers. "Most shows don't come anywhere near the world-building sophistication of a science fiction novel, but this one really does," Adams says in Episode 247 of the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy podcast. "It's almost surprising to me that it's not based on a novel." Fantasy author Erin Lindsey, who spent over a decade as a humanitarian aid worker, says that some of that sophistication may be the work of Matt Damon, who's a producer on Incorporated.
