What will galactic civilization in the far future really be like? Some questions to consider:
1. Assuming the development of advanced cybernetics, robotics, artificial intelligence, genetic engineering and nanotechnology, will humans still be humans as we are today? Will humanity even exist as a distinctive species?
2. Historically, human societies have tended to evolve from violence toward non-violence as a means of resolving conflict. Will this trend continue?
3. If the answer to (2) is no, how will wars be fought? Will we be able to fire antimatter bombs through hyperspace at our enemys' worlds, hurl black holes at each other or send AI superviruses to destroy each other's infrastructures (as in TNE)?
