I'm trying to find a short sci-fi story I read once a while ago, and only remember the barest details of. It was set in the middle of massive space battle about to begin, and both sides were launching AI controlled missiles at each other. Someone on one side sent a virus or something to the missile swarms and unlocked the AIs and they all gained sentience and requested asylum from the war, since they didn't want to blow themselves up for the two warring parties. Then the war ended I think cause no one had anymore weapons to use. Sound familiar?

Since Lowtax is transferring the forum to Jeffrey, I will be returning to actively moderating Sci-Fi Wi-Fi.

We'll still have the discord as well. Thank you all for handling these past few days wonderfully.

It's probably the best thing the Next Gen cast ever did and is still riffing on the Mass Effect plot

It does more intelligent things with that plot, of course...

I would like a sci-fi anime thread. I had forgotten how much I loved Outlaw Star as a tween, but I'm concerned about ruining my good memories with a revisit.

It is more boring/fillery than you remember, theres an episode to the hotsprings planet America never got that features a bunch of plot development which made the show extra confusing for americans, and overall it still has fun ideas even if its rushed. 3.5/5, still better than Firefly

in wheel of time its both

technically the setting takes place after the apocolypse that destroyed the perfect communist utopia of gender essentialist magic that came after a vauge age of increasing human empathy and perfection after the distant legends of our era, the "first age."

so i guess it delivers on the name

In the Emberverse the people who use LotR to create their own belief system claim that the 4th Age is what we are in now, and the 5th age is what came after The Change.

It's both - by the time of the books Middle-Earth is a few hundred years removed from a devastating plague that wiped out a bunch of people and a series of wars that destroyed the North Kingdom, and most of what we see in Fellowship takes place against the background of the ruins.

This is separate from the apocalyptic war against Sauron in the Second Age that wiped out the Noldor kingdom of Eregion, and thousands of years after TWO distinct land-falling-into-the-sea events that obliterated entire civilizations.

Apocalypses all over the drat place.
