For science fiction writers, I recommend Stanislaw Lem, who proposed an interesting measure of a civilization’s advancement: eventually, all advanced civilizations send their waste into the nearest star. This represents a technology that coexists with a thriving humanity/civilisation.

Lem is phenomenal, not just as a writer, but perhaps even more so as a thinker and futurist. Not many know of his non-fiction philosophy work where he goes deep on both human and non-human life: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0816675775

Thanks for implanting some mind viruses.

Thank you. I’ve added ‘Summa Technologiae’ to my reading list. I’ve read a dozen of his books, but not these essays.
P.S. I’m fortunate to read Lem in the original language, as I am a native Polish speaker :)
