This reminds me of a couple sci-fi novels. Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Charles Sheffield. And these two by Dennis Danvers, Circuit of Heaven and End of Days. I thought they were all pretty good. The distinction between artificial intelligence and what's human becomes blurred and sometimes interchangable.

I think we're going to reach other solar systems. I wouldn't mind being a part of that. A breakthrough could happen any day now. If I had a cute willing girlfriend and a hyperdrive I'd be out there in a couple weeks. I'll probably retire out there somewhere on a quiet forest planet on the edge of the Small Magellanic Cloud, really great view of the galaxy from there. If not there then somewhere overlooking that sparkly blue Pleiades cluster. I kinda had my hopes up that there'd be something interesting at Alpha Centari but I think we'll have to go out a couple dozen more light years. It's still worth a look though, eh?
