Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge

I haven't read all of it, but this novel might be of interest to some considering the emergence/convergence of life-extension tech, AI, and political manipulation through social media.

Welcome to our world! 😉

I have a story line along those lines, it involves the far future when the sun expands to the size off Earth's orbit, which would be a lot further into the future than the end of mankind but around the year 2400 some genetic engineers figure out a way to have DNA and such frozen in time in ice crystals so they set up a corporation with the idea of seeding such crystals to the outer solar system, say a spray of that stuff to Encaledus or Europa, now covered with miles of ice.
So when the sun does it's thing, and the ice starts melting on those moons, even though humans are long gone, by a few billion years, those ice crystals remain and now the ice starts melting and the crystals change to actuators with some of them building incubators for humans and animals to populate a civilization where all the latest science and engineering knowledge is stored in those crystals so libraries are built piece by piece using local resources and a couple of decades later, human children are born in a lab, transferred to an incubator to sustain them through infanthood and they grow up and start up the human race and animal and vegetable eco systems again.

What do you think about that scenario?
