Restructuring technology
The present technological revolution based on information technology,
lasers, the atom, subatomic particles, new materials such as optic fibres which
allow energy transportation and consumption at speeds and over distances once
unthinkable, genetic modification concerning not only agriculture and animals
but also man, etc., has not stopped at changing the world. It has done more. It
has produced conditions that make it seem impossible to plan or make plans for
the foreseeable future, not only as far as those who intend to maintain the present
state of affairs are concerned, but also by those who intend to destroy them.
The main reason for this is that the new technologies, which are now
interacting and becoming part of the context that has been developing over at
least the past 2,000 years, could produce unpredictable results. And some of
these results could be totally destructive, far beyond the devastating effects of
an atomic explosion.
Hence the need for a project aimed at the destruction of technology as
a whole in its first, essential phase, and which bases all its political and social
approaches on this imperative.
