The book is politically driven rather than scientifically driven. The speculation could be wildly off track at time and therefore not likely to become true. Author seems lack understanding in certain fields and tried to bite more than he could chew researching this book. I suppose I empathize him as we are all humans, being introduced to such strange (or no longer strange and moreso prevalent now) topics such as automation or biological design. However, he seems to have a romanticized views of the matters and are too quick to jump into speculation without actually researching what goes into the technical and physical parts of these matters, and therefore, lacking pieces of puzzles needed to speculate on the problem and missing the heart of the problem.
I suppose this book will excite many who haven't had a chance to researched into current trend of modern society, but they should continue reading deeper into the subjects and form a more accurate and less romanticized perspective about these new technology.
