No miento si afirmo que todos y todas las participantes en este libro, 10 años después de escrito, tienen ya bien amarrado el sustento para lo que les queda de vida pero ello no les hace menos hijos de puta. Al contrario: son colaboracionistas de mierda para con aquellos que traman un imperio tecnofascista y el maese Unabomber bien debería mandarles una felicitación postal de las suyas.

Me sigue fascinando como esta gentuza vuelve una y otra vez a ese ideal de colmena de abejas que ya usase Charles Galton Darwin en su Next Million Years para describir lo que consideran la utopia ideal. La novedad ahora es la estructura, que mimetiza el formato de paper científico (breve descripción inicial, desarrollo, tabla de datos, conclusión final) solo que omitiendo la parte de los conflictos de intereses.

También es significativo que el 90% de quienes escriben en este libro en el momento de hacerlo o estaban en nómina para DARPA o algunas empresas satélites.
