Midas world

Viac o knihe

A world of dirt-cheap energy. A world of robots — working, walking, talking all-capable robots. These were the starting points, ushering in the new age of ultimate consumption: a society where getting, spending and using were legally enforced duties, where the product flood must be ceaselessly mopped up and absorbed. But privilege is ever with us. A simple, uncluttered life, a smaller, gadget-free house, a minimum of robot servants: these had become the marks of power and distinction. These were the new rich. Midas World... truly a world turned upside down.
