Today, I came across this new article by Siva Vaidhyanathan in American Quarterly, "Introduction Rewiring the 'Nation': The Place of Technology in American Studies." Siva implores us to ask hard questions about "techno-fundamentalism," the idea that technology is progress and is by definition good. His article summarizes this issue of American Quarterly and offers many fresh perspectives.

The article is in Project Muse:
