Yeah, I love books as well. I am again and again startled at the extend people link life quality to technological developments and consequent dependence being created. Like "what would life be without mobile phones or cars?" I am happy to know that cars won't be existing on my planet of birth next life nor will technology be playing a role, which again of course matches with my state of consciousness "As within so without", a process which is in the middle unfolding already.
