That takes me back. Read it many many years ago as a teenager. I think you're right about sf being more tech based then. Still can't beat Asimov's robot trilogy for a close (if dated) look at human/tech interactions and the moral dimensions thereof.
Edit: also Alexei Panshin's Rite of Passage - which can horrify but does a rip snorting good job of examining the morality of a closed society. Re-read this recently and it stands the test of time.

The phrase Kia Ora dates from WW1 I believe - it could well have been done in the early 1900s.
Slow roasted a chunk of deboned lamb shoulder for dins. Marinated in lemon & garlic and a bit of star anise (not much but it made a tasty difference from the usual). Even though I made a total pig of myself there are plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. I feel a real shepherd's pie coming on.
Do not believe the 'you don't need to turn it' for an instant. All compost goes better and faster if aerated thoroughly and regularly. The lickle worrums just loove their oxygen. Better moisture regulation too if aerated.
Yep. Taxidermy is a bit of a creep show even when done well imo.
Plenty of folk out there who should only ever have ceramic cats. Can't see the size - taxidermy?
Never seen a real blueberry in the wild so to speak. Not much chance of actual real flavour too I reckon.
Green with envy.
And what is bacon going to do with the rest of the balrog, pray tell!
Interesting. Will give that a go.
