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.)
