I woke up to the smell of artificial carrots and a feeling of wetness on my cheek; opening my eyes I quickly identified the cause. It was my robo-sagan-dog, part of the reconstructed Carl Sagan group mind. Yawning, I rose up in bed and picked up my terminal from the bedside table. I’d been outbidded on nootropics on the bitcoin market; I decided to worry about it later. Switching to a news feed I learned that reconstructed Carl Sagan had been appointed president again, 3rd term running. Ever since the system had realized democracy is stupid they just had Yudkowsky select our presidents. Reconstructed Carl Sagan was the popular choice anyway: his namesake had been the public face of science, he was the public face of the state. Some people thought his personality wasn’t true to the original but you couldn’t argue with success: since he had first been elected 8 years ago public opinion of SIAI had risen nearly 20%.
How does this sound for a start?
