I don't see any space elevators, space monoliths, demon aliens come to ascend the children or gigantic empty sun diving cylindrical worldships.

You take stories too literally. The names, dates, locations and events can be freely changed in any given story. What matters is that somebody is telling the story, and that you are the target behind the tellers intent. that's what you have to look for, the rest is just theatrics; distractions.

I think you are reading too deep man

The opposite, I just looked at the surface level of what the intent was...technology over nature, which we see today and which transhumanism aims at.

Huxley was an upper-crust psychonaut, Orwell was a fervent anti-communist, Clark just wrote shit so dry it can only be rivaled by Asimov and Jules Verne. Occam's razor on this one.

Nope. They are all connect through publishers as a vetting process for their works, the usury mafia as the financiers of their works, as well as being members in the usual circles of bloodlines, freemasonry, wealth, royalty, and the internationalist lifestyle. See, historical revisionism doesn't like to tell the stories of those who doesn't play by the rules of the system. Also anti-communist? You mean like the US government who had an entire "cold war" against the threat of communism? As you probably noticed the US government are communist and capitalistic, because those are both tools of subjugation for the same group of controllers.

Universe is order and entrophy—there is no equilibrium

Incorrect. Our existence happens in between life and death, with time initiating the movement from one towards the other, thereby creating the demand for adaption to ever changing circumstances, to uphold the balance (the natural order) in between these two outcomes. This is why all our actions have a positive (life) or a negative (death) consequence that nature judges.

The system either grows or regresses

No. Existence itself is based on time initiating movement, which creates two opposite barriers in between which all existence happens; a beginning and an end. If you have two barriers than everything in between is finite so there can be no growth of the core energy. What you are describing as growth is a reconfiguration (order) out of constant loss (chaos). The only thing that can grow inside the barriers is our comprehension of what is possible for us to achieve. All knowledge already exists in the nature of this ecosystem, it is our comprehension that isn't up to par to understand it all. If we want to "grow" our conscious perception, we need to follow the laws of nature and maintain our blood, which holds not just our identity, but the chance for individual traits like creativity, intelligence, strength and so on. And the only way to maintain the blood is to maintain this system as steward, because what our species bring to the table is comprehension (as in we have the most sophisticated consciousness), which is why we are a type of mimic that can comprehend and create of the world around us.

machinations of Universe.

Universe describes your longing for the outside, based on the repressed fear of the inside (death), which is why your consciousness creates substitutes for the unknown end, which is based on mankind not comprehending that the goal they are so desperately chasing after, the purpose that they cannot seem to find, was given to them at the beginning...life, which is the ultimate git of existence, which is required for anything else to have a value.

Of course, that's called the jew vs jew backstabbing competition about how to share the spoils from the exploitation of mankind. There is no help from within only the off chance of powers shifting and one psychopath being replaced by another.
