This Wikipedia article is relevant to my interests.

I am fond of solar system science fiction. A standard scifi technique is basing it on historical events (e,g., Asimov’s Foundation based on the decline and fall of Roman empire).

In solar system colonization, life's bottleneck is phosphorus, not nitrogen guano. But swap them and the Wiki sections on the guano age and imperialism become relevant. Whaling ships returning empty become cargo spaceships returning empty...

A 𑐴𑐶𑐟𑐶 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
