Thank you, Antonia. This was a balm, a catalyst for thought, and a call to action. And I just ordered the Economic Science Fictions book from my [independent, non-Am***n] bookseller!

Another thought provoking and wonderful column! Some of this reminded me of an intriguing line from the movie "Deliverance", when Burt Reynolds sez: "The system is gonna fail. Machines are gonna fail. Then it's who has the ability to survive". I hope we never to that state, but as a race developing increasing complexity in everything we do, you wonder how fragile things really are? Great article - have not read it all - recently in The Atlantic about climate change and how extreme it could be. Anyway, more chaotic thoughts, but this is enough.. have a great weekend!
