Verbatim quote · defining passage

“Indeed, technology is the dominant form of power. If technology presents itself to us as an enormous system of interlocking imperatives which provides a very precise slot for us to insert our own imperatives, who or what is at the center? What ostensive sign generates the system of imperatives? Technology is completely bound up with the specific forms the centralization of power takes in the wake of the desacralization of power.”
