It's a semi utopia based sci-fi. The culture is an amalgam of species (including human). It's run by "minds" hyper powerful AIs. Humanity is akin to pet dogs. A mix of pampered and useful. Basically, humans live in a life of luxury and choice. Changing genders, or even species is very common. Immortality is mostly a logistics and boredom issue. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 9 points 5 months ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_series permalink fedilink source parent
