or just drastically slow our increase in energy usage.
Further in the same ridiculous analogy that book points out if we built Dyson spheres around every star in the Milky Way we could get along for 2500 years at our current energy consumption growth rates.
Doomed is not really the right word you are correct, because it just won't happen, we will meet the limit of physics and realize we can't keep increasing our energy usage even if we wanted to. But our desire to have GDP monotonically increasing is doomed for sure.
