I haven't actually read the article yet, but it seems interesting for both Civ fans and Banks fans.  :)

The article mostly ponders on the what if meme, with links to Excession and CivI as background. At least, that's my take on it. :P

Already we have turned all of our critical industries, all of our material resources, over to these...things...these lumps of silver and paste we call nanorobots. And now we propose to teach them intelligence? What, pray tell, will we do when these little homunculi awaken one day announce that they have no further need for us?
