I grew up in the 90s and computing was definitely a huge part of the mythology. Space wasn’t out but it was kind of back burner. The author of this piece seems to think space is the ur myth of modernity which I don’t think it is. One of the characteristics of our age is many myth narratives that overlap and ebb and flow. The coolest thing about our age though is that many of them come true to some limited extent at least. We don’t get Star Trek but we do go somewhere.
