- "It is now highly feasible to take care of everybody on Earth at a 'higher standard of living than any have ever known.' It no longer has to be you or me. Selfishness is unnecessary and henceforth unrationalizable as mandated by survival."
- Eric Drexler - Author of Engines of Creation (2007 update here) and prophet of molecular nanotechnology . He describes molecular assemblers as "engines of abundance". (However as interesting and capable as advanced nanotechnology is likely to be, it is not actually a requirement for the development of a post-scarcity society - something that could be achieved with today's macro-scale technology).
- John McCarthy - Prominent computer scientist. He has some interesting information on his website about the sustainability of human progress.
- Marshall Brain - the 'Australia project' in the story of Manna. Marshall is the founder of HowStuffWorks.com
- Marshall T. Savage - Author of The Millenial Project: Colonizing the Galaxy in eight easy steps. Many abundance concepts covered using known technology in this interesting take on feasible space colonisation
- Robert Levin - Agalmics, an essay on the marginalization of scarcity
