But what about a transhumanist setting where AI research hasn't made those bit breakthroughs? Instead the big advancements have been in the biological and biocybernetic sciences. There are a few "sapient computers" but that's because they have a natural or artificial biological brain at their core. Living people still have a place in space travel...
