I m currently panicking and stressed out about the future, mainly because the uni course I m working towards applying to (doing A levels) May be made redundant by Ai.
Most paths that I wanted to explore in computer science would be gone and since I come from a low class immigrant family, I have virtually no safety net.
Anyways, I would prefer something that can help me change my perspective and see more nuance in my situation.
Thank you for reading.

Right now I’m rather fond of all of the Becky Chambers books that I’ve read. A Psalm For the Wild-Built, and so on. It’s hard to say what might change your perspective, because Sci-Fi AIs are not what we have today. They are not sentient, nor sapient.
Children of Time, by Adrian Tchaikovsky
I, Robot or/and The Complete Robot collections of Isaac Asimov’s shorter stories.
The Deep Sky by Yume Kitasei- lead has to solve a bombing on board the all afab mission to colonize a new planet, made insanely difficult as the crew have all known each other since they were pre-teens so the layers of earth politics and personal connections obfuscate any truth. (ultimately a hopeful view of the future)
seconding Becky Chambers
Maybe something like The Murderbot Diaries or Ancillary Justice where the leads are not quite human but value life might help?
