When we first got dial-up Internet, then Ethernet, then wifi, we were all noobs. We would spend a lot of time trying to grasp what all these technologies were for.but look at us now. We have a hang of almost all the advanced technologies available now be it smart watches, smart home appliances or trading platforms like the btc loophole and others, we know it all. Some of the most amazing futuristic novels that we read back in the day had a lot to do with learning. Just being able to visualize stuff like going into space, the virtual world, aliens, smart technologies like the btc loophole really helped us adapt to the changing times easily. 3 of our most favorite novels about futuristic technology are listed below. Give it a read to see what is so amazing about them.
- Lightless by CA Higgins
Lightless is about a computer scientist who is invovled in teh interrogation of the suspected terrorist held captive on the vessel. The scientist’s aim is to restore Ananke.The majority of the attention in the novel is focused on the questioning, which is suspenseful and exciting. However, it would be a mistake to overlook Althea’s struggle with the ship, especially given that it leads to the creation of an AI with a lot of personality. (And I mean it less in a sassy robot sense and more in an oh-god-what-is-it-going-to-do way.)
- Proxy by Alex London
Proxy is introduced right away as a cyberpunk version of The Whipping Boy in which one character, Syd, pays off his obligations by accepting the consequences of another character, Knox, who had acted badly. And in Proxy’s futuristic society, everyone who isn’t in the top tier owes money. The technology in this narrative is the datastream, which broadcasts customised commercials for items you can usually not afford while keeping track of your debts, wants, and needs. The cycle of debt and desire, the strictly maintained divide between those who have and those who want, all made possible by the technology that lives in a person’s blood, are infuriating—and so, perfect—to witness this system in action.
- Scythe by Neal Shusterman
This book comes the closest to being a “utopian” tale that I’ve come across because it imagines a world without disease, hunger, war, or crime, and it doesn’t focus on exposing some horrifying secret or plot that lies beneath that utopian vision (at least not yet—the series isn’t finished until November!). Instead, civilization is governed by the Thunderhead, a sophisticated cloud technology that keeps an eye on everything, and the Scythes, who act independently of the Thunderhead and use mass murder to control population growth. It is now possible for the series to concentrate on the political intrigue and corruption within the Scythe institution, which avoids the tension I had anticipated—where the AI’s cold reliance on numbers leads to actions that appear terrible to humans. To put it another way, rather than technology being the issue, it is us.
