Once upon a time, science fiction was about science and engineering. Was about big ideas for how technology can transform the world. Was about what a high-tech future might look like, and how it might feel to be a real person living there. Was about our hopes and aspirations.

But something happened. Somewhere along the way, our fiction lost hope. Began preaching our inevitable failure. Began sifting through the ashes of endless visions of decay. Began lamenting instead of inspiring. Began, above all, lecturing us for daring to have hopes, dreams, and desires, for daring to think that the universe is a better place with humans in it than without, that tomorrow might be better than today.

Well, some of us aren't interested in self-flagellation.

Theft of Fire by Devon Eriksen
"I'm going to rate this for what the author set out to do: tell a good realistic space story. And in that regard it was great. He knocked it out of the park. I loved the realistic problem solving too.

“Word and hand on it,”
Devon Eriksen, Theft of Fire

“We eventually learned to stop calling it Artificial Intelligence,” says some balding character on the vid, probably an actor because he’s dressed in the sort of white lab coat that an actual computer scientist would have no reason to wear. “We simply came to accept learning behaviors as being part of the way that we, as a civilization, created task-specific software. Programs learned better ways to process predefined inputs, but never developed anything like a human capacity to understand context.”
Devon Eriksen, Theft of Fire

“Right now, all 133 servers on the White Cat, most of them little more than re-purposed desktop computers running open source software”
Devon Eriksen, Theft of Fire
