To write inevitably has to see with the tragic.
Especially if the writing makes hypertextual. In fact, Heidegger links tragedy and technology. He argues that because technology "enframes" the planet and everything on it we become cut off from an awareness of tragedy: the originary strife, the enigma of suffering, the "movedness" of all nature including our own.
As is evident in Thucydides and plays such as Antigone, the Greeks were already aware of the essential place of the tragic in their daily lives and communities. It is this awareness that Heidegger wanted to recapture. It is not so much that technology eliminates tragedy but the fact we are unaware that tragedy is a defining characteristic of human existence even in the technological age.
