Project: What happened to nature?
As a kid, books like Wolverton's "The Golden Queen" hit me with extreme force.
Therein were sci-fi future civilizations and fantasy worlds where people were more a part of nature than most are today, more in tune with their humanity and intuition, their human magic. There, technology wasn't some impeding synthetic force that extorted and paved over the natural surroundings - rather, it coexisted, entwined with the living environment.

Wolverton wrote of a "backward planet" where people knew nothing of the state of galactic politics. In a medieval manner they attributed the unexplained to magic and spirits, and fantastically made their homes in house-trees.
Will biomechanics, bioengineering, biomorphic visualizations take us there? Will a deeper understanding of our fundamental being?

It's supposed that a Type 1 civilization is able to "harness the power of its planet". I hope that entitles a more synthesized relationship between "object" and "nature" without destroying one or the other, but maybe even enhancing both? Mutualistic symbiosis. Anti-industrialization.
I hope it will lead us here...

Something like that. This is my personal equivalent of

"a home in a great circle dome where stresses and strains are at ease."
