Big Tech’s Red Wheelbarrow: A Commentary

Héctor José Huyke

Abstract

This commentary makes use of William Carlos Williams’s poem “The Red Wheelbarrow” to explore the self-destructiveness implicit in today’s technology in its prevalent insistence on delivering humanity from nature. The argument is raised that nature will prevail over the growing choices that presume to leave it behind as humanity advances.
