I noticed that "a basic sofa" involves some placing some floating bricks if built in the order of the animation. It hints at the way this model generates the designs. The automated assembly of generated LEGO structures using robots would have serious trouble creating these designs I reckon.

I think in the book those people were convinced to give up air travel by the eco-terrorists known as the Children of Kali shooting commercial airliners out of the sky, and not shooting down cleaner alternatives like airships. A persuasive argument, to be sure.
