Pandora's Seed

the Unforeseen Cost of Civilization
Jul 10, 2013stewstealth rated this title 2.5 out of 5 stars
This book is more of an essay on the author's beliefs then a true scientific approach to the varied subjects that he introduces. The basic premise is that when you change things there can be unforeseen consequences. Nothing to argue there. The problem for the prognosis of the future in the book ( and in other media ) is all the unforeseen advancements that will help humanity. Too much "Chicken Little" but it at least wasn't a polemic so it is worth reading,As in any complex system the author is right on some issues but rarely includes the counterpoints. If you hate your current world and your lifestyle you'll probably love this book.
