Comic #82 : "Former Gods"
Wednesday 28th August 2013
Arthur C Clarke had three laws, one of which stated that "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" - and Star Trek certainly dealt with the idea of the Greek Gods being aliens who visited Earth.
Of course, the new religion is no longer Gods, it is the way that we are so absorbed in our social technology.
I would like to add fourth law to Arthur C Clarke's list: Any species that becomes so advanced that invents interstellar travel is unlikely to have developed Facebook or Reddit.
