Thanks for great article! These principles are not only for doomsday, I see it reasonably practical in many off-grid scenarios, which are here now. For example field research in distant areas, in nature labs where there is no other option than local energy and no stable connection, or you want to deal with research carbon footprint, so you design livinglab infrastructure including data processing not dependent on any external "cloud" to reach carbon balance.
The field research is a key to ecosystem sustainability and more than human naturecultures research which is in fact fun and breathtaking, quite an opposite to dystopia. With some well balanced computing thrown into forest/garden it just explodes with food and biodiversity. Sorry for disappointment, maybe it will still come when the extractive urban drones steal the harvest.
