Sam Smith's Progressive Review led me to this thought provoking article about the near future. Something in it for everyone, and many comments to enjoy, too, especially on page 5 from Steven Earl Salmony, Mike K. and Plowboy, cited below.

Jon….I don’t want to presume to know what (J.H.) Kunstler means in the context of his essay, but judging from what else he’s written over the years, he might be referring to what he often describes as a “discontinuity.” That is, the reality that we’ve all been schooled in is that technical progress, like time itself, only moves in one direction. We might just be facing the fact that tomorrow will look a whole lot more like yesterday than today.
