Once more, California is rushing to a rapid transformation driven by technology. Emergent and future technologies are the new drive for reshaping the grounds of California. Technogaianism, the current stance of active support and development of technological solutions for a climate emergency, is inquired here as yet another Californian form of escape. It follows in the wake of countercultural movements, libertarian hypercapitalism and the digital revolution. Proposed here is shaping of a middle ground between the tech industry sprees and the complex fluxes and flows of ecosystems, water cycles, and land. Institutions need to link the tech thrusts with the entangled spaces of the lands of California for a permanent engagement with ecological healing. There no longer is the future only, but from now on. Contact: Kathinm@yahoo.co.uk
