T. Collins Logan:

"Superagency:

Actual ability to extend personal and collective agency far beyond pre-technological, pre-democratic, pre-capitalistic human reach. From citizens initiatives to online shopping to nuclear weapons, humanity has arrived at a point in history where much of humanity has the same level of superagency that was previously restricted to the wealthiest or mightiest members of society. Terrorism would not exist without superagency. Democracy does not function without superagency. TV evangelists would not get nearly as rich without superagency."
