The text suggests the early steps toward an alternative theory or politics of how we live with technology—one that resists dominant, exploitative frameworks. It proposes a more symbolic, spiritual, or relational way of being with tech (technototemism), emphasizing co-living and entanglement (cyborgian-commensal) with non-human systems in ways that go against the mainstream.
