“Everywhere we remain unfree and chained to technology, whether we passionately affirm or deny it.”
Martin Heidegger book The Question Concerning Technology
The Question Concerning Technology (1954)
Context: Everywhere we remain unfree and chained to technology, whether we passionately affirm or deny it. But we are delivered over to it in the worst possible way when we regard it as something neutral; for this conception of it, to which today we particularly like to do homage, makes us utterly blind to the essence of technology.
