I am not a huge fan of these theories that give agency to objects or tools with regards to evolution.

It's something that has been very popularized with the "Sapiens" book: wheat enslaved men to produce more of it, apple tricked men by "evolving" into sweeter fruits etc.

You could decline this theory to whatever humans produce that's useful to humanity. You could say that walkers are a very successful species of objects, since it has managed to have a lot of men depend on them, and so have proliferated in the last century.

The truth is that humans are addicted to safety, comfort, efficiency, pleasure, etc., and as such it is addicted to computers, just as it is addicted to cars and reality tv.

Does that make humanity slaves of cars, and of reality tv?
