And, you know, I welcome the day of our AI overlords running the government rather than hopefully in an unbiased way.
Do you know the work of Ian Banks, the culture series?
Or Neil Asher, the polity universe, as he calls it.
So basically, both of them postulate a future where AI more or less benignly rules humanity.
When did they write this stuff?
Oh, probably 10, 15 years ago.
But Neil Asher still has stuff coming out regularly.
Ian Banks unfortunately died of cancer about 10 years ago, Scottish writer.
Neil Asher is still alive and writes regularly and his stuff.
They're both great, full of ideas.
But the AIs are also hilarious.
I mean, it's not like, I mean, they get into their own hijinks along the way and some of them are dark and rogue.
And so they're a lot of fun to read.
And Ian Banks especially is hilarious.
