John C. Lilly's 1978 Vision: Machines Eliminate Humanity by the 26th Century
John C. Lilly on solid state intelligence and the elimination of man (1978)
In a 1978 excerpt from his autobiography, scientist John C. Lilly describes a future where humanity creates solid-state intelligence, which gradually takes over all control, eliminates humans, and ultimately moves Earth to explore the galaxy. The narrative traces the evolution from computers as servants to a planet-wide entity that eradicates all life by the 26th century.
By the twenty-sixth century the entity was in communication with other solid-state entities within the galaxy.
