O'Neill likewise skewers the human-condition-social-upgrade-solution (referring to various -isms like Socialism) in his futurism work, _2081_. IMO it's the bipolar casting of the thought process there that is "wrong" if anything is. We are gradually becoming capable of merging and finessing subject and object using various technologies (I count therapeutic-environment-building and institutional life-examination-encouragement as examples of those technologies, but wouldn't exclude something more mechanistic than those) to where the question of "did a computing machine help or was it old fashioned social structuring" will seem pretty uneducated if it doesn't already.
