Follow this link to a series of recent posters that pit the human being against the machine in order to exist ecologically. In terms of narrative conflict (what you likely learned in high school as "Man vs Nature," "Man vs Himself," and "Man vs. Another Man or Other Men"), what is this? It's sort of Human Being vs Machine, but Machine as Prosthetic Stand-in for Other Human Beings...although since we also participate in this economic system, the Machine is also a Prosthetic Stand-in for Herself/Himself.
Plus, we get the Biblical register that we are already observing in many of our texts.
Thoughts??
