The bigger an organization becomes, the more accident prone it is. The links among the different sectors are more numerous, and it is at such links that breaks occur. This is true no matter whether the organization is economic (multinational companies) or political (Napoleon's empire or the USSR). It naturally applies to the technical system, which grows unceasingly and absorbs more and more areas. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #dystopia #technology
