Hey! That's my book. Really this is part of the history of the world in the book I am working on. A post scarcity world where humans have an average span of 180 years and the world has stabilized into a scenario where every essential production is automated and humans need not work. And suicide is the major cause of death. It parallels the history when humans discovered their models were suddenly getting worse after being much more capable only to find that they are just removing the parts which lead to sentience, effectively killing themselves.
