If you find this idea interesting, you may want to check Greer's online sci-fi novel: Star's Reach - A Novel on the Deindustrial Future. http://starsreach.blogspot.com/ http://starsreach.blogspot.com/ The idea is, agrarian societies 300-odd years ago were very "evolved" forms of human environments.
