“At certain points in this technological world that we inhabit, there are fracture lines that allow us to see through into the reality that lies beyond. And one of those fracture lines is represented by the car crash. It's a collapse in a technological system that has the same sort of revelatory power that, say, an earthquake in a major city has. Or even on a small level, something like an elevator failure forces us to--it allows us to--sort of revalue our relationship with the world of machines.”
— J.G. Ballard
“Technology is neither a devil nor an angel. But neither is it simply
a 'tool,' a neutral extension of some rock-solid human nature. Technology
is a trickster, and it has been so since the first culture hero taught
the human tribe how to spin wool before he pulled it over our eyes.”
