reminds me of a story i just read by charles stross:
http://www.bestsf.net/presents/RogueFarm.html http://www.bestsf.net/presents/RogueFarm.html
about a future in which bioengineering allows individuals to become self sufficient (adding photosynthesis to their genome, for example). this causes the economy to collapse as many consumers no longer depend on society.
- joe_the_user 16y agoAnd indeed, once people are self-sufficient, why would they care if the economy collapsed? The only problem with the scenario is if/when wars between the self-sufficient farms erupt.
- The_Igor 16y agoThat was a good read. Thanks!
