You cannot reverse technology but it would be definitely possible to control technology rather than be a slave to it.

You may enjoy reading Ernst Junger if you haven't already.

I am not familiar with the work of his brother. I know that technology featured prominently in Junger's works too, though.

Interesting. I wonder if Friedrich Junger is more pessimistic than his brother. Ernst considered technology as something to be mastered, the rise of which was neither necessarily good nor necessarily bad.
