The Cosmogonic Duel

  • Chapter
Organizational Epics and Sagas

Abstract

This chapter will tell the story of various professionals coming to terms with new technology introduced in their workplaces — namely, computers. The story will be framed as a cosmogonic duel which, I will argue, highlights some interesting aspects of the interaction and its framing in the protagonists’ accounts while staying true to the way those accounts were presented.
