Sooo... Corporations are bad, but people are bad anyway so it doesn't matter? IDK. Might be a product of it's age (bitter endings were big back then, right?)
- philjohn 4y agoI read the ending differently - it's got two distinct parts. The first is a warning on populism - it falls apart quickly in the face of reality. Promising easy solutions to hard problems. The other is the Malthusian trap (explicitly nodded to with the "Hail Malthus") line.
