In a sense my predicament as described in "No Man's Land" came about due to technological advances the consequences of which were not properly understood. The following extracts from a recent news article, How are humans going to become extinct?, resonate in particular:

If we get it wrong, this could be humanity's final century.
These are "threats we have no track record of surviving".
...the advance of technology has overtaken our capacity to control the possible consequences.
"This is the first century in the world's history when the biggest threat is from humanity..."

But none more so than this: the consequences of some error or terror are greater than in the past.... Remember, the core system protects itself first and foremost, not your family.
