technique is our environment, the new "nature" in which we live, the dominant factor, the system. I need not elaborate on its features: autonomy, unity, universality, totality, automatic growth, automation, causal progression, the absence of finality.13or need I discuss afresh the distinction between the technical system and the technical society. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #dystopia #technology
