it's somewhere in the future. giants roam. they start to upcycle brick buildings, using them for storage, plant stands, and ottomans.
some humans are around, they're friends with the giants at least in this town. the giants grow giant plants and pot them in their terracotta pottery creations. The kilns fire up in the winter and the human spa next door--who has a wall on the outside of the kiln--have a seasonal special of kiln-powered baths.

Superintelligent machines. Superintelligence means any form of artificial intelligence, maybe based on "self-taught" neural networks, that is capable of outclassing the best human brains in practically every discipline, including scientific creativity, practical wisdom, and social skills. Several commentators have argued that both the hardware and the software required for superintelligence might be developed in the first few decades of the next century. (See Moravec [1998] and Bostrom [1998].)
bullet Lifelong emotional well-being through re-calibration of the pleasure-centers. Even today, mild variants of sustainable euphoria are possible for a minority of people who respond especially well to clinical mood-brighteners ("antidepressants"). Pharmaceuticals currently under development promise to give an increasing number of "normal" people the choice of drastically reducing the incidence...
