Storytelling is a basic human activity. We need and use stories to describe and explain the human being, the human condition, and the universe we inhabit. In particular, we have used our stories—especially our grand or master narratives (e.g., Graeco-Roman, Judeo-Christian, or Secular-Scientific)—to produce and assign meaning for and to our experience of existence. Throughout human history, sacred or significant myths have unified societies and cultures. Since ancient times, we have also told stories about technology. They reveal how we understand it, its place in our lives, and ourselves as human beings in relation to it. While some stories advocate, others question technological progress. While some mythologize, others demythologize. These narratives teach and inculcate worldviews. They compete, as well, for our allegiance. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
