I recall a fun little cyberpunk story by Bruce Sterling ("Mozart In Mirrorshades," 1985) in which near-future corporations have taken to tapping the resources of alternate timelines for fun and profit- and this includes manpower. This leads to some entertaining mashups, such as Roman legionaries as private security for a petroleum operation in 18th century Austria, commandos drawn from the ranks of Genghis Khan, and so forth.
So here's the thread starter: Assume you're responsible for recruiting and staffing one of these crosstime mercenary outfits. Where will you go for your manpower? |
