Ghunk,

Rather than dipsomania in Plato's cave I suspect Malone is the scribe
in a cold cell contemplating the effect the printing press is about
to have on his craft and career. It seems it is not the fascistic
features of technology he is railing against, it's all the gushy
coverage gee-techno-whiz is getting in the press. Journalists are
bloody suspicious and back-biting jealous about this world wide web
and its tricky sticky net full of insidious implications of immanent
demise; the elect devoured alive by the incessant clacking jaws of
the paranoid posting preterite.

Don't know about where to find Wolfe's Forbes ASAP stuff on the net.
Sorry. :-\ I hope my Wolfesque prose above helps the jones a little. <G>

Jerard

Ghunk, Thanks for the tip on Rene Guenon's Book. You might also
have looked at Jacques Ellul's Technological Society. There he analyses the same themes thoroughly starting with the codification of Roman law and taking it to the present.

My best to you.

Seppo
