Hur's Toward Eternity posits the question of humanity. How and who or in this case what? How will this artificial being define family and love? Will it be able to evolve beyond its language-assessing abilities and if so, what will that mean for the future of humans and humanity?

As I'm reading, the hypotheses explored made me wonder about evolving AI and machine learning. Here, the program that takes centre stage as the main character gains sentience. Is it sentience as we understand it, or is it someting different based on the foundational creation components.

As we get further into the future, we see sacrifice for love, corporate technological greed, domination of the galaxy, and climate collapse via nuclear war. What can be gleaned from this is whatever is put into something or someone is what you get out. 

I really enjoyed reading this one for the subject matter and the converstions that it will not only continue but encourage.
