The Committee to Nuke Elysium

I kept reading this and thinking, “What if the Singularity already happened?” “What if our ideas about what constitutes intelligence render us incapable of recognising it when it appears?” How do bacteria revolt against the rise of humans? They don’t. They just go on, trying to survive in a new environment that’s changed for various reasons that they don’t quite understand. Imagine. Maybe corporations are already in communication with some higher galactic intelligence, first contact has already happened and WE WILL NEVER KNOW. We’ll just wonder why our environment seems to have gotten inexplicably ___er.
