Nah, I got carried away, sorry. You're right, what the author here is suggesting is not something you would want. He's imagining a magical omniscient fantasy technology, the closest approximation of which would leave you disappointed and robbed of agency as a photographer. I propose, instead, you consider the elements he stitched together to reach his delusion and whether or not they could still lead to a very similar, regrettable future.
