I’m writing, or about to begin writing, a science fiction story where androids are the main characters and are their own civilization. I’m wondering if, perhaps, since humans seem to prefer using inorganic technology and organic only to aid us rather than as tools, should/would it be more interesting if inorganic androids used organic technology as tools, and inorganic technology just to aid them? Or would that be too weird, using organic material as we use inorganic material in technology?
