How can technology, perceived by the general public as the crucible of rationality and impartiality, become an obvious source of submission to uncompromising power? This article attempts to shed some light on this fundamental question, taking the Enlightenment and the contemporary era as its starting point. The study reveals the fetishising of technology during these two periods, which were marked by technico-industrial dominance and a kind of reversal of thinking that placed individuals and the whole of nature under the dome of domination. How did we manage to reconcile technology and fetishism? What impact did this technology of divination have on the Enlightenment and the modern age? How can we break free from this technological spell? Using a historical and critical approach, this paper seeks to shed some light on the subject. The aim of this incursion is to deconstruct the mythical and mystical forms at work in technological deployment. In terms of results, the aim is to achieve a genuine culture of the technical object and to escape from any spellbinding universe.
