Dostoevskian moment in tech

Modern tech triumphalism has entered a moral crisis point where the Faustian narrative (mastery at spiritual cost) fractures into self‑questioning and existential doubt. Writers and critics are reframing elite techno‑optimism not as merely instrumental progress but as a theological and psychological problem about what counts as human flourishing. — This framing shifts debate from narrow risk/benefit calculations to moral and identity questions that can change how democracies regulate and legitimize powerful technologies.
