True for personal laptops, false for professional laptops. Might be why they gave me one with a fingerprint reader.
I unlock my work laptop a dozen times a day at least. Facial recognition FTW for that. TBH I've never felt the need to set up my fingerprint though...
That's not uncanny valley, that's uncanny grand canyon
TBH, I threw your description to chatgpt to see what it could make out of it, this is the response I got. Check to see it managed to get it right...
Based on the plot you provided, it sounds like you're describing the "Grisha" trilogy by Leigh Bardugo, specifically the first book titled "Shadow and Bone." The protagonist, Alina Starkov, possesses a dormant power known as the "Sun Summoner" which she discovers when she is aboard a flying ship called the Volcra. She has no memory of her childhood and embarks on a journey to harness her abilities. Along the way, she encounters a man named Mal who saves her when the ship is attacked. Throughout the series, Alina grapples with her identity and the choice between using her powers to save or destroy humanity, ultimately deciding to destroy magic itself. The series also features elements of a magical world, flying ships, and a dangerous wilderness filled with magic.
Well you told it to be unstable, soooooooooooooooooooo...
The big difference is that a book is structured to teach you bit by bit. One of the issues of learning a new subject is that you don't know what you don't know. Something structured like a book solves this.
That being said, a six year old book is ancient when talking about computer related stuff...
Came here to suggest the culture series. First thing that popped into my mind while reading the question.
Ursula K. Le Guin's books in the Hainish Cycle might also fit the bill.
