my theory is that the only way to explore the universe is to turn ourselves into machines. the distances don't look that menacing when you can turn yourself off for the duration of a millennial trip. space required in a "spaceship" suited for machines only would also be minimal, and life support wouldn't be needed.
this would also make an interesting sci-fi book :)
- lofaszvanitt 4y agoYeah, but if I could choose, I'd rather modify myself biologically, than inserting some rigid, totally alien thing into my body. To be honest when these kind of advancements will be available humanity will already be fucked. I'd rather not live in an environment where this kinda thing is widespread. Read the Takeshi Kovacs books, especially the first one (Altered Carbon), that explores this area.
- kmlx 4y agoas a massive sci fi fan, i read those and watched the first season (on netflix i think). loved them.
