+# unix & holistic technologies
+
+Every technology lies on a spectrum: prescriptive technologies, like car
+assembly lines, have dependence on large non-individual organizational
+structures in order to function; while holistic tech is self-reliant and
+depends on little, like a personal garden. Or a unix program. Most
+things lie somewhere in between.
+
+What the consequences of a society heavily dependent on prescriptive
+technologies? What is its cost of adoption? Where can freedom be found
+in taking control of the toolchain? Let's look at where the unix
+philosophy and the web fit in.
