@purplephish20 As long as we keep at this "independent countries" game, that's not going to happen. Under an unified government humanity might be able to colonize space, terraform other planets, and survive the death of earth. Still, going back to the story: If a domestic robot was able to "outlive" by hundreds of years the men who built it, what about truly advanced systems and repositories of knowledge? The human genetic code might very well be stored (as a matter of fact it is, and floating in space, a very retarded idea if I may say so) in systems with the ability to replicate it, so even extinction could be just a minor setback for the species.
