It's a person who prefers spending time with technology rather than social interaction

Chris is a technovert because he spends most of his time coding and using apps instead of going out.

Technogaianist Cyber-Nihilism

A variant drawing on the Gaia hypothesis and technogaianism—the belief that technology can help heal the planet—but filtered through a cyber-nihilist lens. Technogaianist Cyber-Nihilism argues that the Earth itself is a complex system, a kind of proto-Wired, that can be enhanced and evolved through technological intervention. It supports geoengineering, synthetic biology, and planetary-scale computing not to "save" humanity but to accelerate the planet's transformation into a fully networked, self-regulating, post-biological entity. The goal is not a greener planet for people but a planet that has transcended the need for people—a Gaian Wired that includes and exceeds its biological origins.

Example: "She worked on open-source atmospheric processing units that could pull carbon from the air while generating power. 'This isn't climate activism,' she said. 'This is technogaianist cyber-nihilism. I'm not saving the climate for humans. I'm building the planetary-scale infrastructure that will eventually run itself—and won't need us to maintain it. The Earth becomes the Wired; the Wired becomes the Earth. We're just midwives to a planet that will outgrow us.'"

Technological Sandboxism

The perspective that technology creates expanding sandboxes for human action—bounded domains with rules (physics, economics, ethics) within which we can build, create, and transform. Each new technology extends the sandbox, adding new tools, new materials, new possibilities. But every sandbox has edges: unintended consequences, resource limits, ethical boundaries we ignore at our peril. Technological Sandboxism embraces innovation while remembering that playing in the sandbox means accepting its constraints—and that the biggest castles sometimes collapse under their own weight.

Technological Sandboxism "AI can do anything! No limits! Technological Sandboxism says: cool, but you're still in a sandbox. There are constraints—energy, data quality, human values, unintended consequences. Play all you want, but if you dig too deep, you hit the bottom of the box. And then what?"

Technological Hegemony

The dominance of technological solutions and technological thinking over all other approaches to human problems. Under technological hegemony, every challenge is reframed as a technical problem requiring a technical fix—education needs an app, loneliness needs a social network, meaning needs a virtual reality. Alternative approaches (community-building, political change, spiritual practice, simple human connection) are marginalized as inefficient or outdated. Technological hegemony also describes the dominance of technologically advanced nations and corporations over those without such capabilities, creating dependencies that are as much cognitive as economic.

Example: "When the community proposed a neighborhood watch to address safety, the city responded with a proposal for surveillance cameras and predictive policing algorithms—technological hegemony reducing a human problem to a technical fix."

Technosonder

The feeling of sudden realisation that the technological devices and objects we use carry something of the humans involved in their conception, design and manufacture. Not only that, they carry something of the humans who have used them before us, like a tangible history written in aesthetics, construction and deterioration.

In a society obsessed with the new and pristine, technosonder reminds us of the treasure to be found in the old, classic and used.
