Hardly "happy about all this". From the end of the linked article:
Author's note: Some people have read this blog as my utopia or dream of the future. It is not. It is a scenario showing where we could be heading - for better and for worse. I wrote this piece to start a discussion about some of the pros and cons of the current technological development. When we are dealing with the future, it is not enough to work with reports. We should start discussions in many new ways. This is the intention with this piece.
The author, Ida Augen is without a doubt one of Denmark's most respectable and intelligent politicians.
The article sohuld not be read as an endorsement of that future. It's her prediction of what the world is going to look like, for better or for worse.
