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.
