Thanks for the link. It sounds as if what Curtis is arguing is akin to Weber's (
Economy and Society) "polar night of icy darkness" when all humanity would be trapped in an "iron cage" of socially mandated roles within an overarching, totally rationalized system. But it's difficult to tell, because I naturally haven't seen it yet and Weber is not mentioned by name in the article.
