> Which leads me to ask: in a transhumanist society—go read Accelerando, or Glasshouse, or The Rapture of the Nerds—what currently recognized crimes need to be re-evaluated because their social impact has changed? And what strange new crimes might universally be recognized by a society with, for example, mind uploading, strong AI, or near-immortality? The link to Accelerando there is to Amazon (which is fine, and I do have physical and digital versions of the book and feel that it is good and useful to support authors by purchasing the stories they write)... but you can also get it for free, in its entirety, in a number of different formats, from the author's website: https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/fiction/accelerando/accelerando-intro.html https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/fiction/acceler... > This free ebook edition is made available by kind consent of my publishers, Ace and Orbit, under a Creative Commons license with certain restrictions attached. In particular, you may not create derivative works or use the work for commercial gain. (late edit - I personally feel that the sequence of books and stories: BLIT stories by David Langford, Accelerando (references a Langford fractal), Glasshouse (hints of {spoilers} in a transhuman environment, feels sequelish to Accelerando), Implied Spaces by Walter Jon Williams (the Strossian singularity is averted, and explores {spoilers} more) ---- There's a kind of continuity in the refutation of the reference that each makes to the other that I find interesting)
