This is 100% my jam! If you're enjoying Orson Scott Card, here's some other authors I'd recommend who hit a similar balance of mindbendy concepts, speculative science and fun styles/stories:

  • Dan Simmons' Hyperion Cantos stuff
  • Vernor Vinge's Zones of Thought stuff
  • Anne Leche
  • certain Neal Stephenson stuff (Diamond Age, Seveneves)
  • certain China Mieville stuff (Perdido Street Station, The City & The City, Embassytown)
  • Robert Charles Wilson

With the glut of AI-generated content about to be unleashed I think the information synthesis and auditing- based jobs are going to become more important. So in business, a lot of consultants, analysts etc.

Creatives are probably screwed because of the ocean of content about to get dumped on us, but that also means we'll probably see a lot more curators, presenters and guru types emerging, because most people aren't going to want or know how to navigate through all the junk.
