The author of the book was very religious and the intended message was supposed to be about the god thing. He tried to imagine a somewhat realistic way that the problems he saw with where science was heading would surface, and of course just ended up imagining a problem caused by capitalism, because almost every problem is caused by capitalism.

    I remember thinking forever that that message and warning was overblown and then when my sister started doing bio work in her 2nd year undergrad that included gene manipulation of bacteria and fruit flies (like down to editing stuff with a computer to inject later) I definitely felt a brief pang of "my god weve gone too far."
