Aaron Bastani Believes in a Better World

Aaron Bastani writes books . . . 

The plummeting cost of information and advances in technology are providing the ground for a collective future of freedom and luxury for all.

Aaron Bastani in the NYT.

A writer young and hopeful sat before his keyboard white,

to figure out a future where most ev'rything was bright.

Meat and mashed potatoes would become so cheap that all

could eat until they busted, right at home or in the mall.

**************************

Technology would free us from the drudgery of toil,

and diplomats would triumph, freeing us from all turmoil.

Babies will be edited, becoming customized;

never having colic and with parti-colored eyes.

***************************

Fully automated and communally secure,
the future, says this writer, will be clean and safe and pure.
He'll make a million dollars when his epic hits the stores
(and just as quickly go extinct just like the dinosaurs.)
