Summary

We feel swept into a movement of accelerated evolution. Our lives are propelled at an ever-increasing speed of change. Our advances in technology lead to dislocations in society as we fail to comprehend either the impact of these changes on human social institutions or the unintended consequences that develop as a reaction to the changes we initiate. The complexity of the systems we are changing goes beyond the capability of the human mind, and at the end of the day, we are confronted with the nightmare of technology threatening our extinction without the ability to put the proverbial genie back into the bottle. As we struggle to achieve some kind of balance between our technological capabilities and the functioning of the natural world, we eventually reach the point where we can understand that technology cannot, in and of itself, ensure either the survival of humanity or the satisfaction of the deeper urges that underlie our lives.
