This whole article is a reference and analysis of a book by the name of sphere by Michel Crichton ( a note of fair warning before you go out looking for it, there is a slightly inappropriate scene in one chapter of the book) this article is a analysis not a review so i will spoil it for the purposes of explaining it. You are strongly encouraged to stop reading and go out and read the book yourself first
Sphere is a novel in which a team of scientists are called by the us government to help uncover a discovered wreckage at the bottom of the pacific ocean, they are then trapped at the bottom by a storm, they discover the wreckage is a united states spaceship from some time in the future. It is a incredibly advanced ship and they discover a sphere. I will save you nonsense and get to the point the sphere grants the power to shape his/her imagination into reality. Needless to say it didn't work out to good. No one knew who the power was given to and monsters started to show up and everyone dies... yup everyone outright dies. The moral of this story is that we as humans do not control our imagination and let it run wild... and its OK, but it is a problem in the grand scheme. If we are to become an advanced civilization then we must learn to control this very powerful gift because it can lead to whatever pops into our heads happening... Imagine what would happen if we got mad at someone... Evan briefly imagine them dieing and suddenly they were dead. you obviously did not want that to happen but now you are responsible for it. If we are to have the power of gods then we need to control it like one.
