It's an Illusion
Lyrics
It’s an illusion Separate technology’s another thing Historically
There’s no autonomous technology Nor any ingrained tendency To dynamic autonomy As economic history
The greatest part of history’s Stagnation in technology And most of modern history’s Been technic ideology Or ‘instrumentality’ And separate technology Is class domination — (Hegemony)
It’s just not just autonomy That support for technology Is hegemonic agency — So that technological autonomy Has mystery As history
In spite of shared technology The class-active history Of the British motor industry Is different from that of the French
