Technical activity automatically eliminates every nontechnical activity or transforms it into technical activity. This does not mean, however, that there is any conscious effort or directive will. Jacques Ellul

Lem Book
Well, I just finished the book, and wow! That was crazy. I don't want to give away the ending, but I wish we had narcotics like those people did. If it weren't for the fact that overpopulation ruined the earth that might actually be a really cool place to live. Except for the whole panting thing, I was wondering if Lem was ever going to tell us the reason for that. I don't find this book creepy, more eye-opening really. What better way to control people than to sedate them and let them think they have everything. Whatever Lem was on when he wrote this book, I think we need to give to Borgmann and Dreyfus, maybe it will calm them down a bit.
