Example Citation:
"In response to these views, the dissidents wrote a manifesto calling for 'techno-realism' and calling themselves techno-realists. This manifesto — instantly given its own World Wide Web site at www.technorealism.org: http://www.technorealism.org — rejects the 'louder voices at the extremes' in favor of a more balanced consensus, a 'fertile middle ground between techno-utopianism and neo-Luddism."
— Edward Rothstein, "A rather benign declaration on the Internet is treated as a revolutionary manifesto," The New York Times
