About K2 Musings

So, the genesis of this blog came with a book idea: a war between Earth and a Kardashev 2 civilization. In the process of thinking of the background of the story I realized the scale is just staggering as is the level of technological and social development. As a part of building a world in a distant future some of the considerations to think about are:

  • Future economics specifically post scarcity economics
  • Energy technology
  • Quantum computing
  • Space habitats
  • Culture of space habitats
  • Transhumanism with all the questions of lifespan, augmentation, uploading etc.
  • Politics – future democracy or what else
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Population

I am sure there will be more. So welcome to thinking about the future.
