I think the answer, as seemingly always, is to strive for openness and decentralization in everything we do, minimizing the risk of systemic failure by a kind of biomimicry.

That said, if we really have to rebuild everything from the integrated circuit on up, it's going to be a long, hard slog indeed. I'm afraid that advanced at-home fabrication won't save us in time.
