The technocratic society that they are aiming for cannot physically happen. Evil empires need energy and lots of it. A high-tech surveillance society is not going to be sustained on wind and solar power, and there aren't enough rare earth metals anyway.

In reality, our old existing infrastructure that was built a century ago is falling apart. In fact everything is falling apart. This is what will happen, a slow collapse. Like Rome. If we're lucky and well placed we'll be able to survive beyond the reach of the madmen whose insane fantasies are accelerating the collapse.

As usual, I agree with everything you said. And the comments are right on too. I don't have anything to add, except to say that I am glad I am old.
