    Have you ever read “I, Starship?” This is literally the bunker people that they come back to on their return voyage after the 1st book. Totally dependant on their AI governor for any decision-making whatsoever.

    Man, why’d all the shitty sci-fi have to come true… I don’t wanna live in I Have No Neuromancer And I Must 451

      To quote Alex:

      Alex Blechman (@AlexBlechman) tweeted: Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale.

      Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus.

      Kinda like in Wall-E where almost nobody has critical thought until a robot teaches it to them. They all have their entertainment systems mindlessly scrolling while the robots do everything for them.
