What if you didn't have to feel pain? What if every think you could need was available to you?
There's a lot to enjoy in this story - the idea of a carefree world, the concerns of such a world, what differences we can see, and then...the characters and human drama. Scythe gives us a chance to ponder a world where a benevolent AI maintains a post-mortal world where humans are encouraged to thrive but don't actually have a purpose. Except a few - and their purpose is to kill - to keep the numbers down.
Um, so I have a huge point of departure in which I don't think people would have near as many children if they wouldn't die - so the premise of an ever expanding population seem a little exaggerated, but only in my point of departure. The author has decided it is a problem, and it works for the story.
