RE: (ORIGINAL) Farima - The Project Maximus Story Part 2

in #scifi7 years ago

Looks to be interesting series. I missed the start of this so I'm going to comment on the series start post as well. I'm glad you are getting recognition on this post, maybe that will give you the incentive to finish it.

I like the near future aspect of it. I believe the technology in the near future is going to accelerate at a much quicker pace and maybe beyond the ability of the people behind the technology to figure out the ethics of that technology.

I took the following quote from your intro post;

It is designed to force the reader to question the extent of technological advancement and how far it should be allowed to go, while being fun at the same time.

The questions you bring up in this reminds​ me of CS Lewis' space trilogy, specifically the 3rd book "That Hideous Strength"(written in 1945), and the scientism and technocracy aspects.

I hope you don't leave us hanging....

I haven't read that trilogy, but I read a lot of science fiction across several subgenres. This story hopefully will force readers to question certain advances in technology and the impact on society. It takes some crazy turns. This is great, because I didn't know how people would react to it. It'll definitely be finished now. This was going to be a 100 - 120 page novella. So there's a ton of story left.

Glad to hear you'll finish it. I just now noticed you have the last name of CS Lewis. Not sure why I didn't notice that before.

Who knows, maybe you're related to him?

Just kidding! ; )
