    Diamond Age is pretty optimistic in the efficacy of automated education yet is centered around the existential threat of print-at-home nukes. I feel like weʼll get the print-at-home nukes long before at-scale education of government-raised babies works out.

      Printing nukes based on enriched uranium or plutonium requires having enriched uranium or plutonium.

      Sounds like one of those dumber sci fi ideas.
