Tonight I’m wishing that Becky Chambers would add more books to the Monk and Robot Series. I’d love to learn more about that calm, hopeful world.

In Karel Čapek‘s 1920 play «R.U.R.», when talking about those who created robots (in this case artificial humans) for their personal profit, the character Alquist says: «They dreamed of the dividends. And on those dividends humanity will perish.»

More than a hundred years later, this fictional warning sounds oddly contemporary.
