Literary necessity.

The characters that thread through the book, even the cat were not
enhanced enough to cope with Economics 2.0.

The problem is you can't write a post singularity novel from the
viewpoint of gods or near gods.

At least I have not seen any so far.

If you have ideas for how to write such a novel, I would be most
interested in seeing them.
