#SciFi Clarke suggested we need 3 communication satellites. #GEO
#MurrayLeinster wrote "Space station" suggesting one would be launched in #LEO
#StanleyKubrick showed us one big wheel in #2001

#Computronium is a #trope A solar system becoming concentric shells and rejecting waste heat as infrared.

#KenMacleod posited a green tinge spreading from a point as stars were surrounded by orbiting habitats, bubbles with airtrees.

I think Bezos may be premature and excessive.

Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway: 10 copies of The Corporation Wars Trilogy by @amendlocke.bsky.social, which I *have* but *haven't read*, and of course I hear they're all great, which -- given the author -- is what I'd expect.

Not my area, but logically, dont you need to disclaim _all_ biological components, to deprived the phrase you don't like of any meaning?
Which implies you've removed biological from "human thing" as well.

#SciFi writers have been exploring the edge cases of humanness and biological elements for several generations, and Hollywood and Tech bros have caught a distorted idea of that recently.
eg #KenMacleod in The Stone Canal inter alia remarking that Gynoids will precede Androids.

And a touch of Ken Macleod's Fall Revolution. The Cassini Division, is not the earliest, but might be a good place to start for the shock of the strange.
