Its four themes might have been chosen as deliberate provocations to back-to-the-land hippiedom. If the Earth is to be saved, Brand argues, it will require mass urbanisation, a shift to nuclear power, genetically modified or ‘genetically engineered’ foods (all foodstuffs, he says, are genetically modified), and geo-engineering: directly modifying the planet’s climate.”
