Der Tod der politischen Utopien gebiert technische. Hightechmärchen versprechen, dass jeder sich vom Aschenputtel zum Hans im Glück wandeln kann mit Hilfe der richtigen Technik. Technikmärchen unterhalten die Neugierigen und trösten die Technophoben. Sie heizen den Konsum an, schaffen neue Märkte und verändern so die Welt in ihrem Sinne. Einerseits vertuschen ihre Verheißungen wichtige Probleme. Andererseits regen sie die Fantasie an und eröffnen neue Möglichkeitsräume. Sie lassen sich nicht widerlegen oder ignorieren. Sondern nur bestaunen und genießen. Oder verreißen. (Erschienen im Jahr 2002 im Argon Verlag)

Ang pag-ibig ay parang isang sugal. You always have to take a risk. Kasi kung hindi ka susugal paano mo malalaman kung mananalo ka o matatalo?""Paano kung sa sugal na 'to ay talo ulit ako?""Pero paano kung mananalo ka?" napakagat labi ulit ako at napa-isip sa sinabi niya."Masyadong nakakatakot." Sambit ko"Paano ka magiging masaya kung mananatili kang takot? Paano mo makikita ang ganda nito kung hindi mo rin naman pala susubukan? Paano ka mananalo kung hindi ka susugal? Paano ka nagmahal kung di ka nasaktan? Love was never easy just like how life is. It always sucks but still it is beautiful." Tumingin ito sa gawi ko bago ngumiti "So, its either mananatili kang duwag o lalaban ka? Susuko ka o susugal ka? Magmamahal ka o magiging duwag ka ulit? You chose." She shrug her shoulders at uminom ulit.Para sa pusong nawasak na noon Elizza is having a hard time to take a risk on the person whom she had taken a risked before. Mahirap magtiwala ulit sa taong minsan ng nagsabi na "Mahal kita at hindi kita iiwan" pero hanggang "sabi" lang. Promises are meant to be broken sabi nga nila. Kaya sa ikalawang pagkakataon. Would she take a risk? Would she give him another chance to change the past and be "The One"?
