Writers gotta eat, ya know? #1 would take much more space to adequately discuss, but briefly, it seems to me that most things that add to my quality of life (admittedly subjective) don't take much in the way of power (= energy), and as with lighting, the amount needed is actually declining with time. | |

To achieve this sort of energy levels the civilisation must be advanced to the points where backup and redundancy in humans is achieveable. 2. Are you sure? You might lose a few hours of your life (since the backup was taken) but that's it. There's a lot of sci-fi out there exploring this concept. | |
