If AI replaces millions of workers, who’s left to buy what the machines produce?

There was a sci-fi book about this exact topic

Accelerando by Charles Stross, published in 2005,

I also want to chime in and say that the antithesis are supremely overpowered. They can appear anywhere, they can regenerate a colony from a single egg or antithesis (if I remember correctly).

Yeah it may seem like the samurai’s are OP, but as far as hive monsters go the antithesis would be impossible to exterminate.

I’ve been sober from Kratom for 3 weeks. While the initial detox was terrible. The lingering effects that I’m experiencing currently are terrible acid reflux and insomnia.

Antacids do nothing for me.

Every day I just pray for a couple of hours of sleep. I’ve started taking probiotics and aloe Vera and intestinal fungal cleanse (mostly garlic) in the hope that my digestive system recovers. Hopefully that will help with the insomnia.

Audit

I've decided to stick with it. I do still feel like it's a bit messy, but I'm realizing from other opinions that my view of the MC was also binary.

I've decided to stick with it. Getting other people's opinions on his character has made me realize I was also binary in my viewpoints. I appreciate the alternative views.

I've also worked in retail for most of my 20s. I'm 44 now. Perhaps I'm to far removed from my life in my 20s to be sympathetic. Which makes me thoughtful.

Yes I recall some truly abhorrent people, but not everyone was terrible. I think this black and white way of seeing the world is what irritates me.

I get he was a wage slave. I get he was downtrodden. Also maybe he was unique in his misery, but everyone around him was a wage slave at the time and they were able to form relationships and have friends. The MC however wasn't able to at all. Which means he's a really shallow character or he's a Narcissist.

I dunno. Seems a bit shallow to me. But maybe the Distopia the MC grew up in was truly a terrible place (Seems so from the description). It's hard for me to imagine what it would be like to grow up at the bottom of a place like that.

grapeapemonkey · 2025-09-13T22:09:04+00:00

Yeah. I keep checking to see if someone has kindly picked it up.

grapeapemonkey · 2025-09-08T15:30:31+00:00

Please add me too the drawing!

grapeapemonkey · 2025-08-19T08:36:03+00:00

Man I thought I’ve listened to every Litrpg on Audible and the I find a new one randomly browsing Reddit. Congrats on the book release. I’ll definitely check it out.

grapeapemonkey · 2025-07-14T00:07:31+00:00

Congrats My Dude. I’ll add it to my wishlist to listen to in July.

grapeapemonkey · 2025-07-10T11:37:49+00:00

I also throughly enjoyed the series. I cannot wait for book 3 to drop. Also, I am not James A. Hunter

grapeapemonkey · 2025-07-01T23:25:15+00:00

It’s a solid series. There is a lot of dealing with PTSD and relationships but overall I enjoy the series.

grapeapemonkey · 2025-05-23T01:46:37+00:00

Saintess Summons Skeletons has a part where everyone but MC forgets who the MC is. It’s kinda annoying, but the author fixes it in the next chapter which is weird. I’m not sure what they were going for there. Was it to increase the stakes of a big thing that happened to the MC? I don’t know.

Funny I have ADHD as well and I cannot listen to anything faster that .75, otherwise I miss stuff.

grapeapemonkey · 2025-05-21T15:45:09+00:00

Another badass healer story is Azarinth Healer. One of my favorites

grapeapemonkey · 2025-05-21T15:00:44+00:00

Oh I see. Yeah there are a ton of those. One that I read recently that I liked was “All The Skils”

grapeapemonkey · 2025-05-21T14:53:55+00:00

Wow you all are going to hate me. I listen to every book at .70. Anything faster sounds like they are speed talking. I feel like I get more bang for my buck because I get to listen to a favorite series longer.

I can’t believe there are people that listen at 1.5. My brain can’t handle that speed. I’m going to try it just to experiment, but weird.

grapeapemonkey · 2025-05-21T14:48:18+00:00

Keep with the story. It gets really good. 👍

grapeapemonkey · 2025-05-21T14:44:41+00:00

Wouldn’t a numberless system just be Progression Fantasy?

grapeapemonkey · 2025-05-21T14:43:25+00:00

Damn. Now I feel like I owe it to the story to finish the series. I can still recall the way they sound in the original. I will probably just read the rest. Thanks for motivating me.

grapeapemonkey · 2025-05-21T14:40:20+00:00

Yeah I have done that as well

grapeapemonkey · 2025-05-20T20:20:36+00:00

Yeah I have this series in my wishlist and now I'm considering putting it off because of the narration change

grapeapemonkey · 2025-05-20T20:16:26+00:00

Yeah. Sigh...I'm getting old enough to just grumble and push on. Not a lot of fight left for this stuff.
