Robot
Islands
A speculation
It’s the year 2200. The last inhabitant of Japan dies at
age 200, and is buried by robots.
The
Chinese do not invade because the robotic defense perimeter is still
operational, the factories still work, and the ports are still importing raw
materials, and exporting manufactured goods. All of the work is done by robots,
including management and banking; and those robots are maintained by other
robots.
Visitors
are allowed, but there is no work for humans, and the robots charge enormous
prices for all human necessities, up to and including excretion.
The
Japanese people still exist, overseas, underground on Mars, and floating over
Venus.
