In Technology and Anarchy: A Reading of Our Era, Simona Chiodo
argues that the technological era can be read as the most radical
form of anarchism ever experienced. People are not only removing
the role of the expert as a mediator, but also trying, for the
first time in history, to replace the role of a transcendent god
itself by creating, especially through computer engineering, a
totally immanent technological entity characterized by the typical
ontological prerogatives of the divine: omnipresence (by being
everywhere), omniscience (by knowing everything, especially about
us) and omnipotence (by having power, especially over us), as well
as inscrutability. Chiodo proposes a novel view of our
technological era by reading it as the last step of a precise
trajectory of Western thought, i.e. as the most radical form of
anarchism we have ever experienced, due to the crisis of the
founding epistemological relationship between ideality and reality.
By doing this, Chiodo helps fill the gap between technological
innovation and the humanities, which is becoming an emerging
research goal that is more and more urgent in order to face the
greatest challenges of our present and future.
