We were working more with what he'd done in <i>Out of Control</i> -- a quick perusal of the essay I wrote for the class notes that the concepts of the Technium and such were still very much in development. But I'm struck that like our class, you noted the weirdly mystical quality, or deism, that pervades some of the work. <br /><br />Funny to see him come up here...thanks for the flash review!Mary Kate Hurleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892991966276345782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-69447392113350197452010-12-07T09:26:47.167-05:002010-12-07T09:26:47.167-05:00Excellent review!

I am chary of this, but look forward to reading it.<br /><br />Two useful correlatives: one dizzily enthusiastic and corporate (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfEbMV295Kk), and one older, but less starry-eyed about the potential outpacing of the organic by the mechanic (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.04/joy.html)<br /><br />Thx for posting, Jeffrey.<br /><br />~ MM.K.
