Agreed on this. The ringworld thing comes out of nowhere and doesn't clearly follow from the content of the article.

Unless the point is to wink-wink-nudge-nudge at the idea that we might have to do some weird-looking and weird-sounding things in order to save the world... in which case I still don't like the picture.

I read it as "but there's still hope for a big wonderful future", but this is tentative.

In any case, thanks for the exposure to Richard Fraser's art.

Or, apparently, a small wonderful future. Look how tiny that ring is!
