The machine is this giant techno industrial monstrosity that is in our heads and in the world, which is really the project of modernity, as far as I can see. And the project of modernity is to build a machine to replace God, because we've given up on God, and consequently we've given up on limits.

The crisis of the modern world is not a crisis of technology or politics or greenhouse gases. It is a spiritual war. What the Machine represents is our ultimate rebellion against nature: against reality itself
