Re: Science fiction depicting our near future

I haven't looked at science fiction lately but this is very intriguing. In another post I touched on the idea that the human species may be evolving with technology and may soon integrate with computers. I think it will start out with chip implantaion and computer brain and body enhancement and then evolve into organic computing and super organic intelligence capable of endless improvement.

The concept of remote human brain control of a nano spaceship is fascinating. I wasn't clear whether the human subjects were in a dream state or conscious but I don't see how they could be if they were tasked to function in a quasi artificial reality.

Science fiction is an underrated genre for quality writing and doesn't get much praise but I'm definitely going to read Singularity Sky.
