A rant about Technology
Summary: In the rant about technology, Ursula K. Leguin wants to challenge how main-stream discourses understands technology. She makes a point that in these discourses (related to hard/non-hard sci-fi) seem to neglect the fact that technology not only entails the high-tech, but also the non-high-tech like clothes, paper or language. A point made in the text is that "technology is how a society copes with physical reality", and this coping may entail the clothes that you wear in order to fit in at the new school, or the phone you use to call your loved ones in another country. In other words technology permeates every aspect of life in a (modern) society to some extent.
CAPITAL IS DEAD: is this something worse?
Mckenzie wark is an australian scholar that is known for her work with A hacker manifesto (2004), Not to be confused with the essay The hacker manifesto (1986). A central theme (From my understanding(this far into the book))commodification and economics of information. McKenzie suggests that our current models of capitalism are not sufficient to describe how value and surplus is (generated)extracted in big-trech-big-data. The concept of the vectoralist class is used to describe current informational economies. A (to me)fuzzy term, that suggest that like capital and land, informationis a form of property, that is monopolized by the likes of Elon Tusk, Mark Zukondis, and Peter Thief. By controlling the infrastructures that directs the flows of information, the vectoralist class can then extract data, package and label it, and sell it to the highest bidder on the "free" marked. These processes are enforced through extensive lobbyism, which ensures the vectoralists keep the fruits of their labour.
