Edit: Changed title to be more accurate.
Also here is the summary from Wikipedia on what Post-scarcity means:
Post-scarcity is a theoretical economic situation in which most goods can be produced in great abundance with minimal human labor needed, so that they become available to all very cheaply or even freely. Post-scarcity does not mean that scarcity has been eliminated for all goods and services but that all people can easily have their basic survival needs met along with some significant proportion of their desires for goods and services. Writers on the topic often emphasize that some commodities will remain scarce in a post-scarcity society.
I specifically said we are in a post-scarcity information society. I didn’t say everything is post-scarcity.

So a post-information-scarcity society. It means something else with different word-order.
Yeah my mistake. I’m gonna fix the title.
Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:

lol. Tell that to the scientific papers you have to pay for otherwise they’ll run out and the researchers won’t be able to research.
