What we would like ultimately is that our infrastructure move us less and have a less obvious presence in our world—not just visually, not just when it breaks down and emerges forcefully into consciousness, but all the time, and in both little and big ways. No more outlets, cords, or plugs would be nice. No more blackouts, short or long, would be great. So would a return to an earth with a stable climate, a planet that grows neither warmer nor colder because of our attachment to fossil fuels for making power.
