Neal Stephenson Thinks Greed Might Be the Thing That Saves Us

It is yet to be seen whether we will be saved at all. Without a solution to what to do for hundreds of millions of refugees, it seems unlikely.

Greed is how we got here. How likely is it to take us somewhere else? It is not impossible, but it also does not seem like the most promising choice.

In the end, it might be all we have to work with, just because serving greed is what our society is constructed to do, to the exclusion of all else.

And Stephenson gives great story.
