I completely agree. It was used in To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini. I can't think of many other works that use it.

Others have answered you question about non-directed nuclear blasts in space already. They don't work the same way as in atmosphere; lack the blast or the thermal heat, etc. Enter the Casaba-Howitzer, a theoretical nuclear shaped charge that shoots a directed plasma stream at near light speed. This idea came about in the 60s along with nuclear blast propulsion.

Warehouse fulfillment is skilled labor. Fast food work is skilled labor. I'm having a hard time thinking of an example of a truly unskilled labor job.

The first Alien movie. It came on tv once and my dad was all into it. That took years to get over.

I'm betting it correlates with the water consumption of dairy cows. I think they are using the whole production needs from nothing to final product.

Read his Final Architecture series recently and absolutely loved it. The characters were great, the world building was interesting and the portrayal of eldritch horrors was so well done.

Starts with the Shards of Earth, highly recommend.
