Is there much economics fiction out there?
Post Body

I'm a professional economist and I was wondering if there's much econ-fi out there, especially hard econ fi. That is sci fi that projects what our economy might look like in the future or which has a realistic economic element.

I'm looking for econ fi that tackles big questions like how to deal with endless economic growth, automation, the aging population, crypto, universal basic income. What does trade look like when you have to deal with orbital mechanics?

The best examples I can think of are: - the Folding City, a Chinese sci fi that touches on the aging population and the consequences thereof - Dune, the power of a single valuable new commodity - the Expanse, where the class struggle is realistically depicted (including showing universal basic income and its flaws) - Blade Runner and other 80s sci fi which depict a grim underclass living in a high tech world (but I'm looking for things which do a bit of deeper analysis than this)
