What is “Technium”?

It’s a word that occurred to me in 2014 that describes, roughly, the following: all knowledge is eventually weaponized.

We humans live in a web that grows out of our capacity to create. We’re not in some malign matrix that a powerful cabal has created. We can’t alter this reality. It’s just the way it is. Our capacity to weaponize knowledge can be used for good or ill.

Out of my musings came a two-volume book, Technium: A Journey Into The Future.

Both volumes can be found at my Amazon Author Page. For those who don’t like Amazon, here are links to The Brothers of Redemption (Volume I) and A Daughter Of Her People (Volume II).

But Who Are You?

I’m a native New Yorker sharing observations on the internet. Glad to meet you!

These pages will be about anything that strikes my fancy, but for the present and foreseeable future, I’m obsessed with the Russo-NATO war for two reasons: Ukraine the land where half my ancestors emigrate to the United States from (when it was the Russian Empire) and I firmly believe that this war will have momentous, transformative consequences for generations.

Is There Anything Else About You That Is Interesting?

I am a serial hobbyist. I cycle on and off making polymer clay jewelry, soap, wire and bead jewelry, knitting, and papier-mâché.

And I also write books. (Repetition is the soul of advertising.)

Do You Really Look Like That?

She has way better hair than I have.
