I interpret this as humanity's struggle to get back to its habitat, real world and fall back to keep pace with much slower biological evolution. Tools - all the way from stone tools used for hunting, to the AI assistants - are compensation for the desired extra pace in evolution. We can't grow horns over night and grow large in size to rule the jungle, so we got our hunting tools.
But then we let the tools and thought dictate the biological human. Mind has always been a slave of the body, serving just enough intelligence as commanded by the body. But then mind grew to be the master, commanding the body and demanding faster evolution. When body could not deliver to the demands, mind went ahead and created artificial extensions to the body using tools, technologies and science. Mind no longer responds to the body signals leading to suppressed senses, unmet bodily needs, lack of intimacy with the ongoings of the body and total lack of basic understanding of purpose and function of body.
