But the technology itself in Levin's dystopia is no more evil than is innovative technology in America today good. Technology, whether a gun, machine or drug can be put to good ends or bad. A gun can be used to defend a person from assault, or it can be used to assault others. Drugs can be used to destroy parasites, or to turn energetic young people into servile tools of the state. Technology itself is amoral.
People can use technological tools to create wealth or to destroy it.
Yet it is more satisfying than either.
