Banks' Culture cycle, in which the galactic civilization called the Culture relies heavily on artificial intelligences. If such a civilization can be conceived as a sort of “computer-aided” anarchy, it seems to give an interesting view. For an analysis, see for example:<br />Yannick Rumpala, Artificial intelligences and political organization: an exploration based on the science fiction work of Iain M.

I had no idea about it until I saw your comment. Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Alyssia: Well, some writers are certainly smarter than some scientists. And most writers are probably more capable of looking at things in new and different ways than scientists. Okay, well, maybe not.<br /><br />baygirl32: Thanks for stopping in!<br /><br />M.J.: There are certainly some things that exist because someone somewhere wanted to duplicate something from a book.<br /><br />Clare: It's probably that it's something that we should all be scared of but, I think, in the way that one should be scared of a wild animal. In other words, don't run away screaming. Treat it with respect and learn to approach it on its own terms.<br /><br />Rusty: Yeah, it would be cool if the Three Laws of Robotics were someday real. I mean really cool in that a writer would have come up with them long before the need. Not that Asimov wasn't also a brilliant scientist.<br /><br />Alex: Well, I was going for the broad sense. It's the source of all the earliest AI sci-fi.<br /><br />Grumpy: The intelligence was artificial in that it was not the intelligence of the previous brain. It had no memories from it's old life. It was completely new. Created.<br /><br />Sarah P: Well, I just have to hope that we're smart enough to build safeguards aagainst that.<br /><br />Michael: The one about to come out or the sequel you're working on?<br /><br />L.G.: Exactly!<br /><br />Sylvia: Thanks!<br /><br />Sarah A: Well, actually, it's my first year, but who's counting?<br /><br />Shannon: Yeah, Asimov was pretty amazing. At one time, he was considered the most prolific author ever, but Piers Anthony has been pretty determined to break his record. I'm not sure if he has done it or not.<br /><br />You should try to re-write that story!<br /><br />Pammy pam: Asimov is great. If you like sci-fi, it's hard to go wrong with him. His books are even still relevant almost 100 years after he first began writing.<br /><br />Wanda: Thank you! And thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Melodie: Oh, what blog?
