Another attempt to approach king Midas' powers by turning matter into shit, because apparently if we can turn it into shit, then eventually we'll learn to turn it into gold.
It's amazingly stupid. Among other things because it's been described by Lem in either "Summa Technologiae" or "Megabit Bomb", I don't remember which. Possibly both.
But one doesn't have to read Lem for the concept of entropy.
It just feels so boring. People with power showing with all their herd that they don't deserve that power, because they don't understand simple concepts.
