Quotations
the collapsing of bios and technos into each other is not only politically naive, producing a completely reified grand narrative of technology as the true agent and telos of natural and (in)human history
Keith Ansell-Pearson, quoted in 2014, Paul D. Miller, DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid, Svitlana Matviyenko, The Imaginary App (page 94)
In Lewis' view, such societies are cut off from an appreciation of the past, committed to the utopian ideal of unlimited progress, self-satisfied, concerned with technos rather than telos, and skeptical about reason.
