I felt that Semak was underscoring human flaws, in this book. Jarome Webster M.D. suffered from agoraphobia. He also invited his peers to his home to discuss his book, they never came. That led me to believe the others also had agoraphobia as well. At a time when in their younger days they traveled to Mars to help with the Martian plague.
Man continues to isolate himself over the centuries to the point where there are only few hundred in Geneva. They also took up strange hobbies like painting one picture for a lifetime. In Sara Webster's case. They were idle everything was done for them by robots. Creativity was stagnant no new ideas, no new destinations interested them. They took "The Sleep " in hopes that in the distant future some other generation would solve their problems for them. They also decided the earth should be left to the dogs.
The dogs were the ultimate optimists, they succeeded in their utopian ideals but failed in practical terms. Without predators the world became overcrowded and they ran out of space to grow food for the now depended upon feeding stations.
It was a world without corrections.
