Our only alternative to the danger of robotism is humanistic communitarianism. |
What I mean by Robotism, then, is the crushing curse of sameness, the destruction of individuality, and the dead level of mechanical mediocrity. |
The selection of the imagery of the soldier to represent socially conditioned robotism is an appropriate one for the army demonstrates man's condonment and formalization of violence. |
But were those cracks the fault of robotism or were they in fact a failing inherent in Man himself? |
It is an age, of course, that practically coincides with the first modern imaginings of the robot and the proliferation of a literature of robotism, such as we find in the 1930s and 1940s. |
