“The daily grinding of evolution, as accelerated by technology, churns out more and more complex organisms, with higher rates of energy use, and with increasing specialization.

Mindedness is what technology wants, too.” WayWantMindUseEnergyTechnologyProduceEvolutionHigherDiversityIdealsComplexesRateComplexityOrganismsExpandingDensitySpecializationEnergy Use Author:Kevin Kelly
