yeah but once you get to the point where humans are just the pets of god-like AIs you may as well be writing a fantasy novel. no one could ever know what a computer thats a million times smarter than a human would do, so it's just baseless speculation. I've read isaac asimovs "The Last Question" and that's good enough for me. the best sci-fi is about what humans might do with technology that doesnt exist, but we know is physically possible

2 of my favorite series of books are both really, well, weird.

David Feintuch wrote some books. They were good, but they were really loving weird. There is a lot of spanking and authoritarianism. If you can get past that, they are good reads.

The other was David Gerrold. He wrote the original "trouble with triffids", story for Star Trek, and wrote a lot of the Enterprise series.
He wrote some books about 20 years ago that were really loving good, but they were also very loving weird sexually. That was because he was gay and was I believe hiding it at that time, so you get this great book with just random and crazy poo poo.


Gerrold is still one of my favorite authors, be gay and be happy, just stop making GBS threads your quality books up with sex scenes that would make ron jeremy uncomfortable.

weird how
