Just as in Dante's Inferno, the gates of hell open upon the first rim of despair, Limbo, so the modern computer, upon start-up, launches into an electronic limbo, the operating system. Dante's vision of hell presented a mechanical morality, where, within each circle, of hell, the retribution for specific sins was extracted by specific techniques of torture. Each computer program torments digitised quantities to transform them into aesthetic qualities. "The commodity is quality as a use object and quantity as an exchange value. This formula, which is considered as a renewal of scientific concepts by dialectical materialism, would however be purely static and useless if it does not deal with the the passage of quality into quantity and vice-versa."
