Summary/Abstract: The article "Ad majorem techno gloriam?" by Grzegorz Olszański is an attempt at describing the techno culture more as a social than an aesthetic phenomenon. Techno is treated here not only, as a genre of music or the particular subculture but, what is even more crucial, as a cultural factor that defines the specific lifestyle. Differently from other critics and historians of the field, who were arguing that it is rooted in the tribal culture, the author aims to show the links between the techno culture and the medieval aesthetics and ideology.
