Culture in Mind: Bradd Shore on Heideggerian "enframing"

According to the anthropologist Bradd Shorre, the neuromantic^[1] refers to the cybernetic frame of mind excited among computer enthusiasts as they experience what Michael Heim called "the all-at-once simultaneity of totalizing presentness".^[2] Shorre explains "the sense of mastery over language resources that word processing bestows on the experienced user is intimately related to Heidegger's notion of enframing (Bestellen), a subjection of the world to human will that Heidegger saw as a characteristic of all modern technology."^[3]
