- A_D_E_P_T 2y ago"Deep Utopia: Life and Meaning in a Solved World" A book about what to do with life in the face of boundless possibilities, and when just about everything important has been figured out. I recall that this was a significant plot point in Permutation City -- and Egan answered the question more elegantly than Bostrom did.
