That is it. I guess in my immanent musings on this idea I applied the obverse, technology, in place of inanimate.

However, this isn't what I remember of the caller or as being the word. The pathetic fallacy is in line with the idea. You have to possess the pathetic fallacy or at least comprehend it to be able to explain this idea of technology actively being out to get you. Today, I will start combing through shows that could possibly be it. Looking forward to more answer, the ones so far are really interesting ideas by themselves.

I might have to listen to all the shows from around the time...

Thanks for the replies hitherto. I could really go for a Baader-Meinhof moment right now.

I cannot remember anything about the word. Does anyone have any leads or ideas?
