There's something of the apocalyptic preacher about this

"The human race has spent two industrious centuries unearthing the planetary dead and setting them aflame in the sky. There is hell to pay for an affront like that, and it's all ahead of us in this century".

Bruce Sterling on the Viridian List, as quoted by John Thackara on the Doors of Perception mailing list
