Ender series of Orson Scott Card, though I think Gattaca is a good enough guess as well.
At the end of the day, a lot of books/movies might be close enough from the reality. What is almost always wrong is when they give a timeline.
Computers have enabled people to make more mistakes faster than almost any invention in history, with the possible exception of tequila and hand guns.

"The balance should start moving towards stabilization instead of innovation."
Because I think we generally need more stable products.
I would rather get stable products than new features.
Of course innovation and new stuff is important, but not in a faster pace than we still are able to make it stable.

Totally agree. Plus while not quite there I think we have a good set of technologies coming to the mainstream now which cater for virtually all application needs. If we just carry on with the inovation then those technologies are going to fall to the way side and not get the attention they need to become stable and proven.

I think customers are fed up with buggy code and just want stuff that 'just works' more. So it has to be reliable and be easy to use too.

This is one of the factors that limit technology I think. I am not sure if things can be BOTH.
Take Unix for example. Once it is running it is stable as stable can be, but I would not want to have to be the one to get it running, nor would I want to have to use it on my desktop.
In my opinion, one of the reasons that Windows has the level of stability that it does is that it is layer upon layer of things that are meant to make it easy to USE.

Just a comment but in no way should we make ease of use, GUI and making apps useable for the Little Folk an excuse for the mess of layers we have now.
We should seriously by now have a UI framework that is stable, time is long past that we saw the need for it.
