If you want a glimpse into one possible future for the world, look no further than the “Spacers” of the Isaac Asimov Robot series of novels. The specific book I would recommend is “Robots of Dawn.”
The Spacers lived a long time, but they also use androids as the basis of their civilization. This leads to them becoming stagnate and never expanding beyond a core set of planets — I think it was something like 100.
Meanwhile, other humans, who didn’t rely upon androids so much ultimately took over the galaxy. Anyway, the Spacers of Robots of Dawn are very relevant to today’s discourse about AI and robotics.
