Writing a space opera with FTL means accepting causality violation. And accepting causality violation means computing with closed timelike curves or, in simpler terms, really strong deterministic solutions to P=NP, and then some. Procedural AI hops out of the FTL hatlike a demented magician's rabbit and the singularity takes a shit all over your neatly designed Napoleonics-in-Spaaaaaace boardgame table.

about bohemias, and whether it's still possible to do them in a culture that has evolved to detect and commodify them, and sell them back to you before you can even get into the second gear with your bohemia. --- You need science fiction oven mitts to handle the hot casserole that is 2010.

— Как меняется поведение людей в условиях всеобщей дороговизны? — Происходит сжатие спроса, сокращение покупок. Другая тенденция, проявившаяся в последние два года,— накопление вместо потребления. — От чего отказываются потребители? — От "излишеств", например отпуска на море, остаются вместо этого дома. В итоге происходит обеднение нашей потребительской жизни.

Да. И внутри вопроса о персонализации есть большие этические дилеммы. Например, есть какая-то сверхумная система, которая догадалась, что Вася - гей, а он еще об этом не знает. Если она ему что-то посоветует в этом направлении, как к этому относиться? Имеет ли она на это право? Не может ли тогда оказаться, что это система его сделала геем? Иногда системы будут знать о тебе больше, чем ты сам, и что с этим делать - пока непонятно.
