The imposing machine that determines so much of the psychological and well as physical life is supported by the individuals who bind themselves closer and closer to the process that gave birth to them in the first place. Where is the reasonable thought about the horrendous scale, a grotesque scale, developed between human beings and the machines that surround him? Ah, naked little man standing in the shadow of his tools. It seems so inexorable that doom is fait acompli. Machines in this case have replaced the relation that used to obtain between human beings and this King or God. And like kings and gods, what first liberates, later captures.
