    • A science fiction book recommendation that I have, which I think is probably the best envisioning of an AI future, is the culture books by Iain Banks. Very highly recommended for a non-dystopian view of the future. Now, there obviously are some risks, which illustrate perhaps, if we don't do this right, you could have a James Cameron sort of movie, Terminator. We don't want that one. But having a Star Trek future would be great, where we're out there exploring the stars, discovering the nature of the universe, and a level of prosperity and hopefully happiness that we can't quite imagine yet. I'm very excited about the future and very glad to be here. Thank you for having me.
