Moreover, it is clear that the era of the information bomb, the era of aerial warfare, the era of the RMA and global surveillance is also the era of the integral accident.

There are three bombs. The first one is the atomic bomb, which disintegrates reality, the second one is the digital or computer bomb, which destroys the principle of reality itself - not the actual object - and rebuilds it, and finally the third bomb is the demographic one.

That means that humanity will constitute a planet of its own!

For me, the Asian financial crisis of 1998 and the war in Kosovo in 1999 are the prelude to the integral accident.
