passionnant ; je suis en train de lire “2312”, où ce problème est résolu par la réparation génique…

By the year of the book’s title, humankind has (just barely) survived global warming, in part because of terra-forming technologies that have made possible the colonization of Mars, Mercury and Venus. Asteroids and moons have been transformed into a bewildering variety of biospheres. Personal artificial intelligences called “qubes” augment reasoning, and humans have gone well beyond traditional family units, with gender a fluid and self-determined part of one’s identity. Meanwhile, Earth has become an ever more degraded place in which China is a major power with considerable influence throughout the solar system.
Je n’avais pas encore lu d’oeuvres de science-fiction traitant explicitement ce problème... Ca en fait au moins une où il n’est pas oublié !
