Obviously untrue (Destiny)
And to me that is less interesting than the struggles that humanity has yet to face. Fantasy is backward thinking, reveling in and codifying ignorance, whereas Sci-Fi is forward thinking and progressive. It's why fantasy rarely if ever tackles complex philosophical issues, whereas Sci-Fi is full of such things.
Hand-waving away the 'how' does not prevent you from exploring the consequences.Just the existence of the Exos and the Awoken raises many good Sci-Fi questions.
The Exos represent the shunning of biology in favour of machinery. The ultimate stage in the process of cyberization that is already happening today. While the Awoken represent another potential future: biological modification to survive in outer space.
Robots are not fantasy. They can potentially exist, and in fact DO exist now.
