It's fiction, but it's a depiction of a society that's amoral of technology to the point of immorality. A world where any technology that might be slightly be useful becomes used up of every bit of profit that can extracted and then abandoned without a care of what it costs and costed the inventor or the invention.
Is that the world we live in? If nothing else, it seems a lot closer to the world of Lena than the one you present.

Imagine a conscious iron mantle inside the earth or a conscious redwood tree watching over the world for centuries. Or a conscious electron floating in the great void between superclusters. I used to terrify myself by thinking an Overmind would like torture itself on cosmic scales.
