That terrifying book is just the logical conclusion of the technologists and technocracy as applied to our existence with zero consideration for what it means to actually be human. When we threw out philosophy and history and the classics because no one could get a job with that shit, we also threw out what it meant to be human. The technologists have no frame of reference for humanness. The answer is always "we'll figure it out" instead of "perhaps we should decide if it's (infinite growth and progress) worth doing in the first place".
Technology provides us with no meaning which is why the end result is that we eat bugs and taste smog. Until we build a culture capable of understanding meaning in human life again, well, we're stuck with that stupid book.
Nice job chopping wood. I desperately need to get out to my patch of ground to till it under and prep it for next spring.

Can you explain the physics to us. Too close to a window? Too high up?
