TechBondAge: Slavery of the Human Spirit (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798744102388)

We are entering a tech-totalitarian society wherein we will be slaves. We have allowed ourselves have our freedom constrained in the guise of convenience. We are going to live in bondage of technology and the people who control those networks. Puppet-masters exert power over hi-tech networks beyond democratic supervision to exercise control over us that will lead to totalitarianism. The appearance of technical progress camouflages a regression in freedom and liberty. We are tech-slaves who will live in bondage before our demise. This is the TechBondAge and we will live in techbondage.

The domain of BDSM suggests a reflection of the new relationship between the former citizen and their new masters and mistresses. We yield our sovereignty to those who will dominate us by control of networks, tech-cage and electronic straitjacket. In some ways the ideas and iconography of adult entertainment, play or amusement that have come from sub-cultures to mainstream reflect the effect of the new domination-submission regime emerging. We must do what we are told by machines, tools and ties of the network in the TechBondAge. We are relinquishing our sovereignty on the basis of our convenience.

It is time to examine the strange upside-down world we have entered. You are caught in a web, captured in a net, on a line, E-mancipated, remotely-controlled. Soon you will be a mere node, a machine part of a big machine. It is time to stop sacrificing our spiritual sovereignty and time to reject servitude and victimhood.
