[Erich Fromm looking stern, below a quotation from The Sane Society]
Alienation as we find it in modern society is almost total...
Man has created a world of man-made things as it never existed before.
He has constructed a complicated social machine to administer the technical machine he built.
The more powerful and gigantic the forces are which he unleashes, the more powerless he feels himself as a human being.
He is owned by his creations, and his lost ownership of himself.
