The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”

Nothing there that E.M. Forster, Aldous Huxley, George Orwell and other writiers of futuristic, dystopian science fiction did not anticipate. The "real world," Alas! has caught up to the dismal prophecies of the visionaries.

I used to look on change with dread –– No more. Thank God I’ll soon be dead. Orwell told what to expect: By too much “progress” we’ll be wrecked. By rendering ourselves redundant Life will cease to be abundant. Before our congresscurs have blinked We will make ourselves extinct!
I find it interesting that many in the naive (ie - Union of Concerned Scientists) post-Manhattan Project Science Community still believe they can prevent/avert technological progress (Atlas will Shrug).
