Also about how the drug soma relates to people using drugs/alcohol in today's society. The book has a lot of allegory in it, but I'd like to focus on the…

Ghost ships are the replacement of soldiers with intelligent machines powered by sophisticated code. This technology will create opportunities to increase economics and political issues. Ghost ships would replace human muscle, increased the value of human effort and in the process will probably drive much of the economic growth in the coming decades. Consider the progress rates will soon dominate the global economy and in the process drive down the value of human labor with astonishing speed.…

Demanding more and more breakthroughs and advancements, humankind has given technology permission to drive nature away. The isolation that humanity succumbs to results in nature’s beauty vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Thomas L. Friedman in his book titled, “The World Is Flat” does not give a speculative preview of the wonders that are to come in our lifetime.
