“TheFutureIsDesigned” bluechecks thusly:
You: takes 2 hours to read 1 book
Me: take 2 minutes to think of precisely the information I need, write a well-structured query, tell my agent AI to distribute it to the 17 models I’ve selected to help me with research, who then traverse approximately 1 million books, extract 17 different versions of the information I’m looking for, which my overseer agent then reviews, eliminates duplicate points, highlights purely conflicting ones for my review, and creates a 3-level summary.
And then I drink coffee for 58 minutes.
We are not the same.
I want to live in the world of Hyperion, Ringworld, Foundation, and Dune.
You know, Dune.

Kind of funny because while it is dystopian, it is so in a very… calm, ordered and non-threatening kind of way. While Dune is overall just hell. Nothing good about it. Except if you like being addicted. Then there’s plenty
It’s also kind of weird to see Atlas Shrugged on the list. Not because it’s not dystopian because the only thing it’s missing from its libertarian hellscape is realistic consequences in the form of bear attacks. But unlike the others the society isn’t expressly said to be awful by the narrative. Or, for Scholtzenizen, by reality.
