More from Ursula Franklin
Yesterday's post prompted @[email protected] to suggest starting the "More from Ursula Franklin" newsletter. I would hate to disappoint!
Today in The Real World of Technology, Franklin suggests that "the crisis of technology is actually a crisis of governance," and goes on to note that
we have lost the institution of government in terms of responsibility and accountability to the people. We now have nothing but a bunch of managers, who run the country to make it safe for technology. (121)
I've been thinking about governance for a bit, especially in working to develop the community-based governance processes that genuinely open infrastructure requires. It's not easy, though, when so much of the technocratic culture by which we are surrounded seems intent on corroding our solidarity.
