Техногнозис: миф, магия и мистицизм в информационную эпоху
Шрифт:
С другой стороны, тот факт, что технология уже катализировала столько духовных поисков, указывает на то, какую непредсказуемую и живую роль она играет в нашем с миром взаимном раскрытии. Как я заявил в начале, технология — это трикстер. Мы виним технологию за то, что возникает из наших социальных структур и искаженных приоритетов; мы ожидаем от машин магического удовлетворения, которого они просто не могут нам дать; и нас продолжают постоянно вводить в заблуждение их непредсказуемые последствия. У технологий есть своя собственная и все более чуждая нам
