In 2017, writer Martha Wells (b.1964) introduced the The Murderbot diaries. Its 1st story is now available on Apple TV+ as the series Murderbot. Its ingredients make it a great mix to binge-watch: (i) the robot hacks its security module, and thus (ii) creates its free will. An excellent idea: robotic free will !

Does a reliance on technology indeed creates weaknesses? The answer depends on your time frame. Several of my blogs claim that our species cannot survive a next glacial period (a.k.a. Ice...
This topic isn't easy due to recent events. Actually, it hasn't been easy since that day in May 2013. Ever since my 2013 burnout and subsequent 18 month depression, joie de vivre doesn't come natural anymore. Faith, Hope and Love also keep me going; see my 15 March 2023 blog.
