I think the terms techne and episteme are utterly ridiculous and purposefully obscure. As if he was trying to conflate the importance of his work. Don't get me wrong, I think he is a pioneer already in his exploration of VR. But he doesn't need to make more of it than it is right now. I liked Boellstorff’s book but with reservations.
