Yanis Varoufakis:

"So the question is not whether capitalism will survive the technological innovations it is spawning.

The more interesting question is whether capitalism will be succeed by something resembling a Matrix dystopia, or something much closer to a Star Trek-like society where machines serve the humans, and the humans expend their energies exploring the universe and indulging in long debates about the meaning of life in some ancient, Athenian-like high tech agora."
