		<description><![CDATA[VR in spaaaaace! Well, another theme from recent science-fiction seems to be the next step in actual science. At least, according to this article on Space.com. It seems the journey to another star might prove to be a little stressful on humans, so scientists are proposing to send AI (artificial intelligences) instead of, or in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an interesting idea. According to this article on the Japanese Times, the Japanese government is going to sponsor a five-year plan to build a robot with the &#8220;functionality&#8221; of a five-year old. First, this is a pretty big challenge. Not only do they have to overcome the physical problems, but the mental and emotional [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t really think so&#8230; R.U.R. was the play written by Karel Cāpec that first mentioned &#8220;robots&#8221; and, ironically, it was in an industrial context. That&#8217;s where most robots are today, of course, but, in this article on his website, Marshall Brain speculates that we&#8217;ll see them in a lot more areas. The article says [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t even know they were oppresed already! Here&#8217;s a fun little article from The Village Voice about the World Transhumanist Association. In reality, they&#8217;re about a lot more than just cyborgs, but that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re closest to right now. But, should they get their say, bioengineered life and artificial intelligences would get similar protections. [...]]]></description>
