The truth of the matter is that our deficiency does not lie in the want                  of well-verified "facts." What we lack is our bearings. The contemporary experience                  of things technological has repeatedly confounded our vision, our expectations, and                  our capacity to make intelligent judgments. Categories, arguments, conclusions, and                  choices that would have been entirely obvious in earlier times are obvious no                  longer. Patterns of perceptive thinking that were entirely reliable in the past now                  lead us systematically astray. Many of our standard conceptions of technology reveal                  a disorientation that borders on dissociation from reality. And as long as we lack                  the ability to make our situation intelligible, all of the "data" in the world will                  make no difference. ;From the Introduction
