Am about ready to give up on concept of science fiction.
The future is not only weirder than we think, it's weirder than we can think.
Any properly plausible future isn't very much to do with humans.
Don't know what stories I could make that are any plausible at all.
Could make more a bit like Stargate where now humans run around meeting people of coincidental similar development.
Would involve ignoring how unlikely that is.
Also I have no idea what morality looks like once so many possibilities exist.
