What I missed:
Conscious AI dominated society which became stable, peaceful and prosperous but neither fulfilled nor content.
Synnoionts are human beings who have become human-AI interfaces.
Lunarians colonized a large, dense asteroid, Proserpina, on a two million year orbit, currently passing from the Kuiper Belt to the Oort Cloud, and mine bodies in those outer regions.
Nicol did not know about:
Life Mothers guiding planetary ecologies and growing new organic bodies for downloaded personalities;
the colonization of three other extra-solar planets.

Kaor, Paul!
It's my firm belief you cannot have a dynamic, forward-thinking society unless you are willing to accept the inevitability of risks, costs, dangers, losses, failure or disappointment by many (e.g., see the third paragraph of "Kyrie"). That is why I am so hostile to any notions of letting AIs run things.
Ad astra! Sean
