Basic Issues

“Basic issues that each civilization has to deal with–food, clothing, transportation, but also the initiation of life, the distribution of goods, the protection of health and property–have to disappear. They have to become invisible, like air–the abundance of which has so far been the only excess in human history. No doubt this can be achieved.”

Stanislaw Lem | Summa Technologia | p. 37
