The acceleration of history carries consequences of its own, independent of the actual directions of change. The simple speed-up of events and reaction times produces its own effects, whether the changes are perceived as good or bad.

English language, 1970s-era, paperbacks for sale from a street vendor in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi. Among the books is Alvin Toffler's "The Third Wave" which was a teenage favorite of mine.
> Since 1945 we have known that nuclear technology could generate cheap energy for the benefit of humans—but could also physically destroy human civilisation.
The article seems stupid, but part of it motivated me to see if Amitav Ghosh wrote about AI(Salami)
