About
"Once it's flattened, it could never be rebuilt.”“Because why? Got any salt?”
“Because all the available surface metals and coal have already been mined,” said Crake.
“Without which, no iron age, no bronze age, no age of steel, and all the rest of it. There's more farther down, but the advanced technology we need for extracting those would have been obliterated.”
— Margaret Atwood, "Oryx and Crake"
