Technianity - Science as Salvation
Part two in a series on the International Religion

Frank Wright
Mar 28

IN this post I hope to outline some of the aspects of the technological cult which promises a miraculous magnification of power and potential. This is another aspect of the international religion, a loose system of related beliefs flooding into the vacuum of the liberated self.

Electric Sheep - Science Fiction and the Promise of Escape

New and Improved - Humanity Without Limits

Ray Kurzweil: Prophet of Immortality

Who will curate my instagram? - The Horror of the Bugman

ChatLGBT - The Immortality of Community Guidelines

JG Ballard and Philip K Dick

Escape - The Afterworld of Tomorrow

Technianity - A god from the Machine

Electric Sheep
Science fiction was formerly divided into two categories: hard, being based on a precise understanding of realistic technology, and soft - whose only limit on the possible was the imagination.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
