We have to be careful about letting fiction inform our worldview too much. At the same time, storytelling is one of the most natural and effective ways we have to convey ideas to actually wrestle with.
What are some other fictional universes with interesting takes on AI and humans? I think the Hyperion cantos (at least books 1 and 2) are great. Stross's Accelerando also has some wild ideas but feels maybe less directly relevant.
