megamachine

A very large or powerful machine (or computer).

In the early days of the Large Hadron Collider, when the megamachine kept running into seemingly endless, and increasingly improbable, financial and technical snags, some researchers—calling these mishaps “anti-miracles”—even half-seriously proposed that the universe was censoring us from this sort of destruction of the world occasioned by a successful run of the collider.

The convergence of science, economy, technics, and political power.

The megamachine, as he termed it, engendered a bogus existence—material, intellectual and spiritual—that reduced human endeavor to a series of ciphers.
