I know about the recent stuff using DNA as a storage medium. I am interested in writing a story where humans have mastered everything Evolution has to offer; a time when technology is completely integrated into a vivarium/Bioregenerative Life Support System like ecosystem on multiple levels.
I’m looking for references to better speculate about organic compute as a complete replacement for silicon in a very distant future.
It’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but have you read the Rosewater trilogy? It’s not humans, it’s aliens who are invading earth by replacing the cells in our bodies. They have a biological fungus based data network that humans mistake for telepathy and mysticism. It causes lots of “supernatural” effects, but it turns out they’re all based on biological computation.
Set in Nigeria in the 2080s, by a Nigerian author.
I’m trying to focus on positive futurism, but thanks for the reference. I haven’t read Rosewater.
I’m thinking more like an engineered ovum in a controlled setting.
The level of technology would be similar to how you’ve described Rosewater. While you’ve only told me a small sample of the plot and by no means a full description, I’m thinking of technologies well beyond mastery of a technical weapon and into the realm of anything is possible. I’m trying to navigate what is plausible, grounded in reality, but also ethically within scope of a post scarcity socialist nonviolent society.
