@FaceDeer @startrek Modern Trek has *really* pushed both the opposition to genetic enhancement and the prohibition of sentient AI. I suppose it is kinda in keeping with the “humanism” of the source material, but it seems like a blinkered view of the future. (I contrast it with the similarly post-scarcity Culture novels, where both biological modification and artificial Minds are common.)
Haven't heard of culture. Looking for a new book series to read. Is good?
Yes! Very good. Ian M Banks
Started the first book. Just finished the chapters Clear Air Turbulence. I was hooked from the prologue!
It also occured to me, I haven't read much scifi. I watch a lot of scifi, I read a lot of fantasy. I haven't read much sci-fi, so it's kind of fun that it's something new to me that I'd never really considered was missing until now. Thanks for the rec!
I'll check it out! Thanks!
