  now you got it. sociologically, i tend to read the "ge-stell" as a metaphor 
  for the socio-technicity of modernity as such, as the name for a 
  polycontextural macro-relation between technology and society, where humans 
  and non-humans (like tools, ships, nuclear power stations or software-agents) 
  function as "actants" in a self-referential socio-technical network. a year   
  ago, guess it was in context of grgr (34), i wrote here a little more detailed 
  about parallels between heidegger and pynchon: "technology & turning". you may 
  check this out. "ereignis ist eignendes er-äugnis" ~~~
