Mearth says that sooner or later copyright on books will be all in the past because they’ll all be available electronically. She says that electric cars will replace gasoline-powered cars. She says that something called drones will be used to watch the entire country, she talks a lot about something called nanotechnology, and 3-dimensional printing and cellular phones being implanted into peoples’ minds and all available careers being replaced by robots and human cloning and overpopulation and film becoming obsolete, cellular phones making regular telephones obsolete and LED lighting replacing everything and eventually she says that the planet will collapse and become an apathetic wreck,” Alecto replied rapidly, his run-on sentence sounding sinister and dangerous. “Mearth says that eventually people will be able to see inside the minds of everyone.","author":"Rebecca McNutt","tags":["books","digital","film","led-lights","memory","mental-illness","microchips","minds","nanotechnology","nostalgia","obsolete","retro","sinister","technology","telephone"],"id":102420,"author_id":"Rebecca+McNutt"},{"text":"It is a curious situation that the sea, from which life first arose should now be threatened by the activities of one form of that life.

Spite? Certainly, but also the desire for order. Because the desire for order tries to transform the human world into an inorganic reign in which everything goes well, everything functions as a subject of an impersonal will.
