What role do literature, contemporary science, historical science, and current events play in conveying how Joy thinks we should feel about genetic engineering technology?
Recent advancements in contemporary science such as e-trade algorithms have proven dangerous to human life. They were a large factor in the 2008 stock market crash. Although robots cannot be conscious their pre programmed actions (legally supported by the American government) can imbalances in day to day life. "The Short Run" theory states that technology may reach a point where it needs to be controlled. Currently, we have robotic vacuum cleaners, coffee makers, and lawn mowers. Governmental coercion may support the human population by placing emphasis on labor. Technological improvements can lead to the surrendering of mundane human tasks. People will eventually loose their purpose and it will be the responsibility of the "panoptic power" to guide the human population in order to establish an equilibrium between humans and technology.
