Good thing we have robots to till the soil for us now. Seriously, no one can make the argument that we are lacking enough in technology and recourses that we cannot make machines advanced enough to do the shit jobs for us but not advanced enough to say no or find an alternate way that we don't like. Modern farming could be done with robotic atv's and an automated abattoir, we already 3d print and assemble houses and 95% of the products people use solely for recreation are made (or could be made easily enough) in a factory by robots. We have the resources to do this and ensure a basic standard of life for every human free from work but we don't, because it's not profitable under our current system. We are living in a post serf world but keep dragging ourselves down to serfdom because those that control the resources tel us its the only way. if anyone can find a fault in my logic in terms of a basic standard of living I'd love to hear it

I believe it's a pointless book. Nothing about it really sticks with you once you're done reading, there is no discussione of morals, just a costantly moody atmosphere, with the usual sex scene pulled out of nowhere.
