That "Islands in the Sky" book has an interesting speculative piece on how far-future 'humanity' (or whatever are distant descendants look are called) might deal with increased insolation from an aging Sun - varying from something as simple as sun shields (actually already proposed as a geoengineering 'solution' to global warming) through to nudging the Earth outward in its orbit. Fun stuff!
