Abstract
style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">This presentation brings together three interpreters of the city—Jacques Ellul, Hunter S. Thompson, and John of the Apocalypse—to reflect on the future of our technological society. It contrasts rejections of the city, found in Ellul’s style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The Meaning of the City style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">(1970) and Thompson’s style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">(1972), with an affirmation of the technological city found in the Apocalypse of John.
