Deep Time by Ian Douglus

Deep Time by Ian Douglas My rating: 4 of 5 stars I'm drawn to Douglas's book series for its unapologetic hardcore science focus. It's devoid of any fantasy elements, as I've gleaned from his other works. The portrayal of aliens as truly alien, without any anthropomorphic traits, is a testament to his dedication to scientific accuracy. In my view, artificial intelligence doesn't pose a threat to humanity. However, the fundamental drivers of human behavior persist. Social prejudices stemming from class distinctions endure, and conflicts often revolve around resource disputes or misunderstandings. Douglas's books, including this one, spark our imagination, offering glimpses of what humanity could become through responsible technology utilization. 📚🔬🤖 #ScienceFiction #DouglasSeries #FutureOfHumanity View all my reviews

I was wrong. The major that I chose for college was in line with my professional career, I was an engineering tech in electronics, I worked mostly with Hardware testing and root cause analysis. This time around to complement what I already know I went to the software side which would be part of my major. The course I was taking wa
