Jan 15, 2019 at 12:04 comment added The Square-Cube Law Waterworld scored only 42% - 43% on Rotten Tomatoes, but it could be a source of inspiration.
Jan 15, 2019 at 9:14 comment added Daniel This may be answered elsewhere, but you should at least address it too, and that is if most of the plant life is dead, where does the breathable air come from?

Jan 14, 2019 at 23:34 comment added JBH how would this work? that question is too broad. SE's model is one-specific-question/one-best-answer, I count 5 questions. SE is not a discussion forum. Questions must be specific, narrow, and objective. For research, consider reading The Last Ship by William Brinkley.
Jan 14, 2019 at 23:17 comment added GrandmasterB Why is the land "unlivable"? It seems to me that a ship will be no more livable than a barren rock would be. So you might as well live on the rock. Unless there's something like radiation in play.

Jan 14, 2019 at 21:27 comment added iLWR Floating colonies implies that groups of boats/ships are grouped together for mutual benefit. There would be competing colonies or groupings and different political and social orders in each grouping. Technology would be modern.
Jan 14, 2019 at 21:25 comment added iLWR In my mind, there was haste, but some people were prepared. I should have included that. That will be the 'strategic' advantage. In theory, those people are the new 'rich'. Part of the story in my mind is the flipping of poor and rich.
