Ask HN: Sci-Fi with advanced morals and ethics, not just technology?
A lot of science fiction, even set thousands or millions of years in the future, depicts humans at the same moral and ethical level as today. Can anyone recommend a book that imagines not just a higher level of technological development, but ethical as well?<p>The closest I&#x27;ve found so far: &quot;Voyage from Yesteryear&quot;, &quot;Stranger in a Strange Land&quot;, and &quot;Men Like Gods&quot;.<p>EDIT: To clarify what I mean by &quot;advanced morals and ethics&quot;: perhaps something along these lines (lifted from a friend&#x27;s cork board):<p>An increased tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.<p>Frequent attacks of smiling.<p>Feelings of being connected with others and nature.<p>Frequent overwhelming episodes of appreciation.<p>A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than from fears based on past experience.<p>An unmistakeable ability to enjoy each moment.<p>A loss of ability to worry.<p>A loss of interest in conflict.<p>A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.<p>A loss of interest in judging others.<p>A loss of interest in judging self.<p>Gaining the ability to love without expecting anything in return.
