The deification of computers seems woven in to culture in invisible
ways now. Along with it comes centralisation and ultimately a fusion
into a singularity.
There are people, who deep in their hearts don't want individual tools
to expand and improve themselves, but something new to kneel down and
pray to.
I place this struggle squarely on the humanist <-> anti-humanist axis.
