Good post. I’m linking my favorite sci-fi novel here, The Accord from Tim Underwood, which presents a very well thought-through picture of a post-Singularity future where something like the proposed Night-watchman ASI remains permanently in charge of the Universe. The resulting Archipelago-like world is my favorite portrayal of a positive future that I’ve read, and I’m tentatively in favor of the system being portrayed in the novel being the baseline governance structure for the Future. (Erm, mostly in favor, I think I disagree with their choices around population ethics.)
