I don't know my friend, if the future is as utopic as you say, there is a good chance you might still be around. Humans live to be hundreds of years old and disease is virtually eradicated... It doesn't seem like too far of a stretch especially given the pace at which technology is advancing. Have you ever read or watched Altered Carbon? That idea of "stacks" is mind blowing to me. This is a really good prompt. I bet you continue to get some great responses. I just want you to know I do feel a bit bad that I haven't fully participated in these, it's not because I don't think it's a great idea or believe in it. I just have my own stack of content I am working through right now.

You never know! Our genes regulate the rate in which we age and if we can change this there is virtually zero limits on lifespan. Even still I see the collective society imposing some kind of "optimal" lifespan for society and for the planet. I've never watched Altered Carbon but it sounds like it would be right up my alley. No worries about not participating. I can understand being busy with other things. I feel bad that I can't respond to everyone's posts. I try my best to read them but there just aren't enough hours in my day to respond to them all consistently. I hope people are experiencing the value in this nonetheless.
I think the fact that people continue to participate proves the value of it both for them and for you. I never read the books, but I watched the Netflix series. You really need to check it out. It makes you start thinking things for sure. I won't talk about it so I don't ruin it for you. :)
I really hope Memoir Monday is adding value to people's lives and to the community.
I'm a huge fan of the sci-fi genre, mainly because it gives us food for thought. It's hard to shape the future if we can't picture some version of it in our imaginations. Altered Carbon will be making it on our playlist. Thanks for the suggestion.
