I'm sure this topic has been covered before, but I couldn't find it.
I'm using metric in my SF opera novel. I'm wondering if I should use imperial measurement instead? Feet, yards, miles?
I noticed in the book "Old Man's War" the few times they use measurements it's imperial. But they mention that the protagonist used imperial measurement up until he joined the military.
I don't want to send readers to google to look up what 30 centimeters is equivalent to, but it seems ridiculous for imperial measurement to be standard in the future.
