This is one of my favorite subjects to ponder. One can attack this speculation from several perspectives. I'm gonna choose projecting where the life on earth is going to end up. While there is an amazing variety of exoplanets, many in the Goldilocks zone. There are few basics requirements for life. The elements (CHNOPS) are the same, the laws of physics, mathematics too. At this level the universe is homogeneous.
But, how did life end up reversing entropy. Humans are the epitome of negentropy. There is a continuum of evolution occurring since the big bang. A generation of stars died giving birth to the elements in our bodies.
What is interesting is this evolving complexity is not a small or large thing. Humans are rather small compared to galaxies. Nor is it a energy thing. Biological complexity has been replaced with informational (cultural) complexity. Its this measure of complexity in our ability to manipulate our surroundings that is rising exponentially. We could power down the internet, effectively freeze time, start it back up and it still works. We could also clone it. Its an organism now. Kurzweil's "The singularity is near" goes down this path. Bostrom's "Superintelligence...", AI is inevitable.
OK, what we will become is clear. Will our superorganism transcend physics? Are we a superorganism in a fishbowl? A computer game played by God? Am I an NPC?
I suspect since this transformation from biological evolution to informational evolution happens so suddenly that its like occasional supernovae in the universe. Once transformed our superorganism joins the universal internet of superorganisms. This meta organism would look at us now as we do a bacteria. Important, but boring.
