That's true. Happy to change it again if anyone can suggest a more accurate one. The "tire iron" thing is over the top, though.


Thanks. I've updated my previous comment with a proposed title.


I'm loath to use language that doesn't come from the article itself. It's almost always possible to find something in the text that works (if not a title, then a representative phrase).

Edit: I've taken another crack at it. (Previous title was "Technology’s primary effect is to amplify human forces".) Part of why this is a hard case is that the columnist seems to want to put a dramatic, even violent spin (spike-studded tire iron? how silly) on Toyama's views, when it's not clear at all that he means them that way. His actual quoted words are more moderate than the frame the columnist is putting around them.
