Hi, I'm curious about the incident with the robot.
When I read the mention of the difference between living conditions, access to resources and quality of life, I have to agree with you. I have never read about an era in which there were no different levels of life according to human groups, but at present, the "Economic gap" and "Social gap" (which already existed since earlier times) adds the " Technological Gap "which ends up being the central problem, because today the first two gaps are derived from the third.
Can this be reflected in the situation that certain body improvements or technological implants, available in the near future, would have a very unequal distribution in the population? I'm almost sure you can answer: Yes!
Sadly, but realistically, I don't see that technological advances actually eliminate all stratifications and discriminations, they may even be the cause of the emergence of new forms of discrimination. Who knows, we may have in the future a separation between First and Third World according to the possibilities of making implants for improvement.
