Conflicts

[azurelunatic]

There are, as everyone should have learned from their Lit classes, three types of conflict:

Person vs. Self
Person vs. Person
Person vs. Nature.

To these, I have added a fourth:

Person vs. Technology.

It's not another person, it's not the self, it's not nature, though it comes closest to nature.

technology should include things like institutions, beaurocracies, jobs, money, authority, and other social constructs, no?

Social constructs. Exactly. Though some of the things with jobs are person vs. person, the lovely office politics -- but person vs. technology/social construct is a primary theme these days, especially as shown with Dilbert.
