"The basic moral problem that faces man as he moves into the age of automation,
the age of accelerating conquest of nature, is whether he is really fit to live
in an industrial society; whether his institutions will adjust rapidly enough;
whether he will rivet himself with an absurd institution like full employment in
the economic order when it is not only unnecessary but unadministratable in
anything but a slave society; whether freed from the necessity to devote his
brain and brawn to the production of goods and services, he can address himself
to the work of civilization itself."
