Lightly tracked, deck stacked

I often feel like we never had a prayer in winning the so-called battle against technology, and now we are rapidly headed towards the loss of the war: as we revel in the “confession boxes” of our smartphones and the digitization of faux lives online that are so much greener than our own in the real and dying world. I do not mean to sound so dark, necessarily. I am drawn in by Han’s iteration of contingent digital cosmology: the digital world dominates and yet its armor is thin, its modus operandi is crackable, failable. (95)
