I'm not defending the actual paragraph, but I think it was intended as a fairly throwaway intro to a bunch of Brit SF authors, which was itself part of a larger piece, a quite nice and in-depth interview with Alastair Reynolds.

Fir crying out loud, do yew think these puns are funny? I know this might not be a poplar point, but I'm pining for the days when people wood teak comment threads seriously, instead of making an ash of punning on planes.

#19: Many authors now suggest that future economics might change in some way that Marx never dreamed of. What happens if nanotech makes it possible to copy any physical object perfectly, for instance? Including money?

We could always start using quantum money.
