I just finished the Robot Geneticists series by J. S. Morin. It is also known as the Project Transhuman.
Good science fiction has a clear premise and sticks with it. The premise for Robot Geneticists is clear and simple. In the not too distant future, human brains can be saved in digital format and aliens killed all life on Earth.
There are two twists that make it unusual. It’s a post-apocalyptic world, but the story starts a thousand years after the alien attack, so it’s nearly a post-scarcity world. The other twist is that robots don’t hate humans.
Wow Mr.Nestoff I am surprised you still update this site
Yeah, it took me longer than I thought it would to get this going. And I really don’t know what I’m doing, but it’s serviceable. Turns out, I love being retired and just dicking around all day doing stupid stuff.
One thing I miss, and Jaden, you were always good for this, is talking to you guys about stupid stuff that would pop into my head. Social Media mostly sucks, so I figured I’d start this up. I don’t promote it and I’m not trying to build a brand, but I thought someone might find it, and you did.
Yeah I found your site while hanging out with Justin. And I think it is awesome that you keep the site active. Other former noro students also read your posts now
To give you some context what I have been up too. I am currently a Junior at OSU in Electrical Computer Engineering. I have been doing pretty good I got on the deans list and I am on track to graduate early. I can say for certain that your classes helped me with OSU Engineering. As you laid the foundation for logical thinking in the context of math and physics. The stuff we learned in AP physics 2 and normal physics still often comes up in my classes. Like today Schrodinger equation come up in my semiconductor class which we of course covered in physics 2.
So I just wanted to say thanks for being an awesome teacher. You were the best science teacher I had at North Royalton and you actually prepped me for hard college classes.
Not sure how the reply system works on here but, I hope you get this
Hey Mr. Nestoff,
I am about to be a junior mechanical engineering student and I really appreciate you and your classes. I am on the SAE Baja off road team and last year we went to CAT in green valley Arizona and they were testing autonomous equipment. I thought you would enjoy that as your previous work.
Oh man, you’re killing it. I loved Mini-Baja, as it was called at the time. As I may have mentioned, I got to drive the maneuverability event. I have to dig up my photos of our buggy. Did you take any pictures? I’d love to see them.
Ya, I have lots of pictures, I could email them to you. That’s cool, how did you guys do at the competitions?
